I AM sure all of Steve Webster's ex-colleagues at Nestl Rowntree will join me in congratulating him and his passenger Paul Woodhead on winning the 2003 Sidecar World Championship.

It was also his ninth such title remembering Tony Hewitt, Gavin Simmons and David James, who helped Steve to win seven of the preceding world championships.

He is generally regarded as the greatest sidecar racer since the sport began and I for one follow his progress with great interest.

If only there were more coverage on television.

Steve Webster and passenger are fine ambassadors for the county of Yorkshire and the country. Into double figures now Steve, all the best for the future.
