An unforgettable race characterized by a special helmet.
Unique graphics, worn on one occasion and never previously replicated.
It was an unforgettable competition, culminating in Rossi’s 2nd place in a season that would see him triumph, marked by a special helmet. The final graphics in the special “Vale’s Helmets” project replicate the ones the Doctor used in the 2008 Catalunya Grand Prix, in a hard-fought, exciting race.
The graphics, created by Aldo Drudi, are skillfully enhanced through shading and stylistic elements that refer to the world of Valentino. Next to the reproduction of the inflation valve is the wording “Made in Tavullia”, while three light grey circles contain the number 46, the rectangular mark with the Sun and Moon, and a caricature of Guido, the professional rider’s bulldog.
The graphics were worn only once and never replicated, but are now available as a limited edition on the most advanced racing helmet in the world. The replica helmet will be produced in 2,008 pieces. Each helmet will be delivered in a specially made pack containing a letter written by Valentino Rossi. In the letter, he explains first-hand the ideas that led to the creation of the graphic, and he shares memories and emotions generated by the specific race he wore it at. The 46th exemplar of each replica will be given to Valentino for his private collection. Fans, collectors, and enthusiasts won't want to miss this unbeatable opportunity to own, wear, and preserve a unique piece from the history of the World Championship that recounts the legend of one of the greatest athletes in the history of this sport.

OPENLY DEDICATED TO THE AZZURRI
Called “Football” due to its classic white-hexagon, black-pentagon pattern, Valentino wore this helmet for the first time on the second race day at the Catalan GP, as a good luck charm and dedication to the Azzurri in the 2008 Euro Football Championship. The professional rider’s soccer-themed tribute is completed by the suit, created especially for the occasion, inspired by the traditional kit of the Italian national soccer team with white shorts and socks combined with the timeless blue soccer jersey.
