Helmet Style 2 - MotoGP

PILOTO: Valentino Rossi "Gothic Helmet (Yellow)" - Sun Side
ANO: 2007
EQUIPE: Yamaha
AUTOR: Frank Aguiar
DESCRIÇÃO: One of Valentino Rossi’s most used helmet designs during the 2006 and 2007 seasons of MotoGP was the Aldo Drudi designed AGV Gothic helmet. The Gothic design is a simple, bold, and striking paint job that heavily features Rossi’s two most popular recurring themes - the Sun, and the Moon. Some of Rossi’s more superstitious fans have suggested that the Gothic design represents bad luck for Rossi due to the helmets coincidence with Nicky Hayden’s championship win in 2006, and Casey Stomer’s in 2007.
