It was a tradition from the world before which will apparently continue in the world after. This is Valentino Rossi's special helmet when he arrives on his Italian lands to compete in a competition. Precisely, Misano will host a Grand Prix this weekend, then another the following week. We should be entitled to at least one particular helmet made by the essential Aldo Drudi... Who also takes care of the decoration of the helmets of Morbidelli and Bastianini...
Usually, it is at Mugello on the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix that the special helmet of Valentino Rossi appears in the season. But in this year of pandemic, there has been no visit to this site which will nevertheless host Formula 1 for the first time… We nevertheless still have Misano, which will give two performances on as many successive Sundays.
On the banks of the Adriatic and not far from its stronghold of Tavullia, Valentino Rossi will sport a unique helmet. Aldo Drudi , who has always been in charge of decorating the Doctor's helm, decided to give some clues about the new look.
According to a drawing published on social networks by Drudi itself, the new helmet Valentino Rossi for Misano will be very simple, with “ few colors ". A detail that calls out from an artist who, on the contrary, likes to handle them.
Three Italians at the forefront in their championship
Drudi, which also designs helmets for other Italian pilots, in a way also anticipated those of bastianini and Morbidely. The first should have a pastel-colored helmet, while the second should have a multi-colored one. We will recall that he likes to recall his dual Italian and Brazilian nationality.
Misano will be a very important Grand Prix for the three Italians. Valentino Rossi is currently less than 25 points from the lead in the World Championship, while Morbidely , hitherto targeted by bad luck, is 38 lengths away. Although both have yet to claim a victory this season, they are in contention for the title given the championship being so indecisive this year. bastianini, meanwhile, in Moto2 continues Luca marini who is only 8 points ahead of him. A Marini who is whose brother we know... The two men are in competition, with Jorge Martin for a Ducati Pramac in MotoGP for 2021.
