Jorge Lorenzo took center stage at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia on Sunday evening as he was officially presented with his 2010 FIM MotoGP World Championship trophy, during the traditional gala ceremony to mark the close of the season.

The Awards Ceremony, which was broadcast worldwide and presented by the BBC's Jennie Gow and TVE's Ernest Riveras, culminated with 23 year-old Lorenzo being presented with his first premier class MotoGP World Championship trophy.
