The annual fundraising effort at the British MotoGP generated nearly a quarter of a million pounds for the Two Wheels for Life charity, which supports healthcare workers in Africa. Held on the Thursday before the racing, the day included a parade lap, VIP gala dinner and charity auction, with lots including a signed helmet from Marc Marquez, which sold for £4400. A very special lot from Triumph UK further bolstered the Day of Champions coffers: the firm auctioned an actual 765 Moto2 engine crankshaft from the race-winning bike ridden by Joe Roberts of the OnlyFans American Racing team. The chunky forged steel part, with rods and pistons still attached, sold for £3000.
