This afternoon, Jorge Lorenzo used a helmet whose rear part is extended by a spoiler, in the purest style of the kilometer launched on skis.
Tomorrow, he should add leather whose bulge will match this helmet...
Pedrosa, Rossi and a few others also had large spoilers on their helmets, but these being transparent and added to the original shells, they are a little less spectacular and undoubtedly a little less effective.
Marquez uses his usual helmet, already well profiled as standard.
For your information, each element added to a helmet must be subject to approval, which is quite expensive…
The aim of these profilings is not only to reduce air resistance on the helmet, but also to offer greater stability to the latter, which, at the speeds reached at Mugello, is not a luxury...
