Former works Yamaha and Suzuki 500cc rider Didier de Radigues is appealing for the return of his collection of helmets and trophies which have been stolen from his home during a burglary.

The Belgian rider, who won four GP races and a Macau GP, woke this morning to find his collection of memorabilia missing and not only would he like to appeal for witnesses to the crime but also for people to keep an eye out for items on sites such as eBay.

"This morning the alarm clock has been harder than other days because when I got up, I have found that had come and rob me of my collection helmets, trophies, and combinations of memories of my career," said de Radigues.

Any information on the stolen items can be passed on to de Radigues by emailing him here
