Have you ever beaten a star?

World-class racers like Chris Walker, Neil Hodgson, Troy Bayliss and Valentino Rossi weren’t always gods.

All of them had to start somewhere, and all of them must have been beaten plenty of times along the way.

And if you still dine out on the fact that you once thrashed one of today’s big-name riders, we’d love to hear from you for an MCN feature.

So, if you did Walker up the inside on his 125 days, or slipstreamed Hodgson in one of his first club races – or you know someone who did – get in touch.

You can e-mail chris.jones@emap.com, or call 01733-468038. And if you have pictures of you and the future stars in action, it’s even better.
