Make a date with Rossi

They’ll be rolling out the red carpet and shutting the streets of Leicester Square on July 9. But it’s no pseudo-celebrity photocall or ligger-loaded premier. A real star is coming to town to meet his fans – one Valentino Rossi.

Two lucky MCN readers will get the chance to meet Rossi in person and score themselves loads of ” Doctor ” kit. Don’t miss the latest issue of MCN for more details, page 65.

The event gives you the chance to brush shoulders with 23-year-old Valentino in the build up to the big race at MCN Donington Park on July 14.

The triple world champion, who’s streets ahead of his rivals in this MotoGP class, will be handing out signed posters and T-shirts to fans from 3pm.

And if there’s one burning question you’ve always wanted to ask racing’s most colourful character, fire away. He’ll take part in a question and answer session with fans.

There will also be competitions where you’ll have the chance to win prizes including a signed helmet and a scooter.

If you can’t make the July 9 event, you’ll be able to catch the triple world champion in full-on action for three days at the British GP weekend on July 12, 13 and 14. He’ll also be there on July 11 for the annual Day of Champions.
