Valentino Rossi, is catching up (statistically) with another MotoGP legend... (Phil Read), and if Rossi wins another race this year, he would pass or tie Read on the list of oldest riders to win MotoGP races. But, Rossi, and Read (at that point in his career), would be the younger riders. Britain's Fergus Anderson, was 44 years 237 days, at the time of his final MotoGP win in the 500cc class in Spain in 1953. So the list is really comparing riders, with their ages at the time they did win their final races of their career. However, even at 36 years, 195 days, Valentino Rossi isn't ready to slow down yet, whatsoever.
