MotoGP stars Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden took time out of their busy schedule at the weekend to meet ten lucky competition winners and their guests at the Silverstone Ducati UK offices.
The competition was managed in conjunction with Silverstone and run via both Ducati and Silverstone social media channels. During the exclusive experience, the guests were invited to ask questions of the riders and Ducati Corse team manager Vittoriano Guareschi. Questions ranged from the riders’ opinions on the new MotoGP qualifying rules to how much the wind at Silverstone affects a MotoGP bike doing in excess of 200mph. Each winner was also given the fantastic chance to bring items for the riders to sign.
Meanwhile, Britain’s three leading MotoGP riders have signed up as BT Ambassadors.
BT Sport has a five-year deal with Dorna Sports for exclusive rights to televise the FIM MotoGP World Championship, starting from the 2014 season, which opens in Qatar.
Cal Crutchlow, Bradley Smith and Scott Redding will feature in BT Sport programmes and marketing.
