Tom Sykes has put his race-winning Shark helmet on eBay to raise money towards rehabilitation for his former team mate, Joan Lascorz who has been confined to a wheelchair since an accident during testing this year.
The helmet, featuring a special one-off paint job, went on eBay this morning, instantly attracting bids and hovering around £520 for an hour, but has since rocketed to £3,100.
I just bid £3,200 on it, which, I have to admit, I was quite nervous about. Not sure I've got three-grand lying around but it quickly bumped up to £3,300.
Let's hope it raises a decent wodge of cash for a worthy man.
