I'm going to miss the GP on Sunday (we got tickets to see some wrinklies callled Aerosmith at Hyde Park) so my son and I went to Donnington on Thursday for the "Day of Champions" a chance to get close ( in some cases) to the stars-you might recognise a couple............
Hopper
Young British 125 rider Bradley Smith-he's no bigger and not much older than my 14 year old son
Nicky was more than happy to accomodate fans of other riders-my son Josh
Colin Edwards raised a smile when asked to sign a lady's T-shirt handed to him by her partner Colin asked whether she was waiting around in just her bra-she was!
Veteran Racer Phil Read
Thwarted by the gangs of groupies,this was as close as we got to Valentino..........
Josh got a bit closer to the lovely Suzi Perry from the BBC MotoGP commentary team
Not to be outdone by a 14 year old,Dad moved in for a piece of the action
We also bumped in to Eurosport commentator Julian Ryder as we were leaving.
A great day out !
This fella claimed to be famous and insisted upon being in some of our pics-nobody seemed to know who he was though..........
Some die hard fans had created their own Tshirts-good effort !
There will be some who would ask-before they do-YES we did go on the bike and NO we didn't get soaked!
