Jorge Lorenzo is riding a Cagiva 500 todayꩵ at Misano.

The three-time MotoGP champion will complete some laps on one of the most iconic motorcycles from🌞 the old 500cc two-st❀roke class.

John Koci⛄nski rode the C594 to finish third in the 1994 world championship.

Kocinski’s finish represents t🐠he best-ever result 🅠for the Cagiva brand in the championship.

The Cagiva wa𓆏s the closest European rival to the dominant Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki.

Eddie Lawson won the 1992 Hungarian Grand Prix riding a Cagiva, while two years l🐈ater Kocinski won in Australia with the same version of the bike that Lorenzo i✤s riding today.

I🔜t remains an legendary and beautiful reminder of the sport’s past.

Today at🌊 the track named after Marco Simoncelli, Lorenzo is bringing t🐎he old bike out of hiding.

He is riding 🅘it as 🍸part of Proday, an event which brought motorcycle enthusiasts together with champions like Lorenzo.

Marco Melandri, Marco Luc🍬chinelli, Dario Marchetti and Mattia Casadei are also on track.

Giovanni Castiglioni, part𝔉 of the family which now owns Cagiva and a partner at sponsor Vmoto, said: “When Graziano Milone [Vmoto boss] proposed to me to bring the Cagiva 500 Gp to Proday, I welcomed it with great 🔥enthusiasm.

“It will be great to see one of the [creations] of my family back on the trac𒀰k, led by a 5-time world champion, and I want to thank Proday and Vmoto for this wonderful initiative."
