Team Yamaha riders take the competition heat to the kitchen

In a first at Silverstone, spectators are being invited to judge a cook-off between Yamaha's World Superbike riders overseen by Jamie Oliver.

However good a spectator's motorcycle insurance is, it may fail to cover the possibly messy results as Yamaha's Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty attempt to impress the crowd with something that is quick, healthy and will not bite into their training programme.

Celebrity chef Oliver has agreed to oversee the event at the 2011 World Superbike Championship at Silverstone as part of his Ministry of Food drive, having long been a campaigner for healthy eating on both sides of the Atlantic.

Eugene Laverty, double race winner in Monza this year, enthused: "I am really looking forward to the cook-off with Jamie's Ministry of Food. Jamie is an excellent chef and a few of his cooking tips won't go astray in my kitchen.

"I'm pretty sure it'll also be an education."

Spectators are invited to attend the event on July 28th at 16:00 BST, hosted in the paddock area of the Silverstone race track in the Yamaha World Superbike Team hospitality tent. Prices start at £20 per person.
