The riders tried their hands at classic British pub games, with MotoGP pair Cal Crutchlow (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) and James Ellison (Paul Bird Motorsport) taking the bronze medal behind Moto3´s Danny Kent (Red Bull Ajo KTM) and Danny Webb (Mahindra Racing) who took silver.
Moto2 trio of Scott Redding (Marc VDS Racing), Bradley Smith (Tech 3 Racing) and Gino Rea (Federal Oil Gresini Moto2) won each of the rounds of darts, flipping the beer mat and navigating their way around an electric buzzer map of the Silverstone circuit.
Moto3 wildcard rider John McPhee joined them for photo opportunities against the Olympic Park skyline, with a London Beefeater and with the Olympic mascots. Fraser Rogers, also competing as a wildcard this weekend, was unable to attend due to sitting his GSCE exam.
