ShanaLabar

Each year Valentino Rossi wears a particular tribute helmet to his house Grand Prix: Mugello - Italy. The Mugello helmets of Rossi at all times bear an illustrative message: a joke, self-irony, an event or even a section Rossi is experiencing at the moment. The revelation of the helmet is at all times a media spectacle, with dozens of journalists/photographer gathering around Rossi's pitbox to see what design he comes up with.


This year's particular Mugello helmet is the Valentino Rossi Turtle helmet which options the well-known turtle that Rossi often wears on his visor which can be a tattoo on his physique.


The helmet is named The turtle by his followers. Why Valentino Rossi selected a turtle? "Because I just like the animal rather a lot. I had it as a mascot from when I was very younger." One other humorous item on the helmet is an illustration of some small figures of what appear to be Marquez, Pedrosa and Lorenzo running away from The Doctor while he is attempting to keep up with them. The illustration stands for the championship rating the place Rossi is falling behind extra each race, with only one podium thus far in the motoGP 2013 season (Qatar).


Funny about this helmet is that it offers such a robust contrast between on one aspect true slowness (turtle) and on the opposite facet excessive velocity (being on the helmet of a motogp rider).


Valentino's turtle is dropped at life in this design by the legendary Aldo Drudi, the designer of all of the Rossi helmets. This Valentino Rossi Restricted version helmet will turn out to be the following PistaGP model of Rossi to return out subsequent to the PistaGP Components, PistaGP Project 46 and the Valentino Rossi SoleLuna 2013. All PistaGP helmets are full carbon helmets, the extremely lightweight material we all know from functions such because the formula 1.


This helmet will likely be taken into production after the SoleLuna 2013. Observe this blog to search out out extra!
