Aprilia and FIM 250cc Grand Prix points leader Marco Melandri have announced that they will be holding an eBay auction to sell race memorabilia from Melandri’s special “Spider Man” appearance, according to a press release issued by the company.

To promote the Italian release of the blockbuster film in Italy, Melandri wore Spider Man-theme riding gear and his Aprilia was clad in special bodywork for the Mugello round of the FIM 250cc Grand Prix series, which Melandri won.

The sale, which will run from July 8-15 in the Charity section of www.ebay.it, will benefit the charity Emergency.

Included in the auction will be the bodywork from Melandri’s RSW250 Aprilia, the Aprilia RS50 scooter Melandri used during that weekend, and all of Melandri’s riding gear.
