Rossi gets a Kiddimoto

Valentino Rossi was presented with a Kiddimoto Barry Sheene replica at the Day of Champions at Donington Park last Thursday.

The eight-time world champion received the bike – part of the Kiddimoto Heroes range as a gift from Kiddimoto’s Managing Director Simon Booth ahead of the final MotoGP to take place at the Leicestershire circuit.

The Sheene Kiddimoto kick-started talks to sign Rossi to the Kiddimoto Heroes stable, joining the ranks of five other world champions currently celebrated by the award winning wooden balance bikes; Toseland, Sheene, Hayden, Hailwood and Fogarty.

James Toseland’s Kiddimoto Heroes machines took pride of place on the Riders for Health stage whilst his band, Crash, performed to an enthusiastic crowd.

After belting out a selection of their trademark tunes, James then signed his replica before auctioning it off in aid of the Riders for Health charity, raising more valuable funds towards the day’s total for MotoGP’s official charity.

The Kiddimoto Heroes range is based upon the Superbike Kiddimoto, a silhouette of the race machine.

Negotiations are under way for further world champions to be celebrated by a Heroes

The Kiddimoto Heroes range is available in dealers now priced at £119.99, or online at www.kiddimoto.co.uk.
