this happens, when a network of people needs support, it's unquestionable that you come and put your name and do anything you can to raise awareness and try and help put something that puts Jude's legacy into place."
"Anything that supports young people chasing their dreams, anything that helps Mark and The Staff Canteen. It's an absolute pleasure and an honour to be here."
Andy James, marketing brand manager for Michelin motorcycle tyres UK, was glad to see the crossover and solidarity between the world of restaurants and motocross, especially as the Michelin Guide was released on the same day as the race.
He said: "Sometimes we forget the importance of the Michelin star system. To the chefs of this world, it's the barometer."
"It's a massive deal, it's the biggest day in the calendar for the world of gastronomy today. Michelin have been synonymous with it since it started."
As a company, he said, "it's important for us. People know about Michelin-starred restaurants, they know about Michelin tyres, they don't always associate the two things together."
"Any way that we can pull together the two elements into one thing and show that Michelin is more than just tyres."
Mark Morris said the event was "absolutely amazing."
"Clearly, it was quite a tough day, with Jude not being there, but to raise £84,000 for Air Ambulances UK after just seven months is absolutely staggering,"" he added.
"We are honoured, flattered and flabbergasted by the amount of people that have supported it, from the motocross industry that have backed it to Paul Ainsworth and Tom Kerridge that came today, all of the riders that have supported it. Onwards and upwards - hopefully we can make a difference for people in motocross."
