Two Wheels for Life, MotoGP's official charity partner, raised a record €234,000 during the GP of Champions weekend at the British Grand Prix. Auctions alone brought in €122,000, including a set of Barry Sheene replica leathers that sold for €3,600, with funds supporting healthcare transport programmes in Gambia and Nigeria.

Flashy race results get all the attention, but numbers like these show the real temperature of a GP weekend. €122,000 from the auctions alone, and a set of Barry Sheene replica leathers going for €3,600 — that got me. From what I've seen trackside, riders signing memorabilia on stage is just as much the story of a GP weekend as the race itself.

Didn't know Two Wheels for Life was a medical transport charity.

Can't relate to spending €3,600 on a replica suit.

If it's a Barry Sheene replica though, I get wanting it as a keepsake.

€122,000 from the auction alone, that's a solid haul.

More than half of the €234,000 total coming from just the auction is a big share.

Good that it goes to medical transport support in Gambia and Nigeria, nice to see beyond the racing.
