World-famous Day of Champions is back in full force at Silverstone’s British MotoGP with auctions galore in aid of Two Wheels for Life
Set to be held on Thursday August 4 to kick off the Monster Energy British MotoGP in style once again, the legendary auction of MotoGP memorabilia will be hitting the main stage.
Headlining the auction is the signed chequered flag that brought an end to the final race of nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi’s illustrious career, at Valencia in 2021. Not only has Rossi signed the item but also legendary Brazilian footballer Ronaldo who waved the flag as the Italian crossed the finish line. The flag will come with a certificate of authenticity.
Riders from all three MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 classes, teams, and manufacturers have added unique items to the auction which will kick off at 3pm and run until 8pm live on Silverstone’s main stage.
Auction highlights include:
Signed Kenny Roberts helmet that he wore at Goodwood Festival of Speed this year
Colin Edwards ‘Texas Tornado’ Bootcamp experience
The chequered flag from Valentino Rossi’s last race, signed by Rossi and Ronaldo, who waved the flag
