Jean-Philippe Ruggia (born October 1, 1965 in Toulon) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer from France. His best year was in 1995 when he finished in fifth place in the 250cc world championship. He won two races in 1993 riding for Aprilia and ended the season ranked sixth. He was also moderately successful in the 500cc class, finishing 8th overall in 1990.[1] He is also the first rider known to use the elbow down riding style, years before Marc Márquez popularized the riding style in Grand Prix racing.
