A motorcycle champion who was left paralysed in an accident plans to take to a racing bike again for the first time in almost 30 years. American Wayne Rainey will ride a reconfigured bike using handlebar controls at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, West Sussex. He was one of the biggest names in motorcycle racing in the early 1990s. The three time 500cc world champion, who last raced in 1993, said: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
