DAINESE X UNICEF
On the occasion of the Red Bull Grand Prix of San Marino and Riviera di Rimini 2025, Dainese is donating the #1/46 Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit to UNICEF, as worn by Valentino Rossi during a training session at Mugello. This unique piece of motorcycling history that will soon be auctioned off – all proceeds will support UNICEF’s Road Safety program, dedicated to making roads safer for children around the world.
Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents aged 5 to 19, with more than 600 fatalities a day. With the Road Safety program, UNICEF intervenes at the most critical points in children’s mobility – it reduces speed limits near schools, creates safe sidewalks and crossings, promotes the use of car seats and helmets, and strengthens laws and their enforcement. UNICEF, the world’s largest organization dedicated to the rights and welfare of children, works in more than 190 countries to ensure protection, health and education, always putting the youngest children at the center of its activity.
The goal is clear – to create safer streets and communities, so that every child can grow and travel safely, wherever they are in the world.
46 YEARS AS A LEGEND
Not only a racing number, but a hallmark that spanned generations, inspiring millions of enthusiasts.
A motorcycling legend, going beyond the sport’s boundaries. Unique.
February 16, 1979 – in Urbino, Italy, a talent destined to rewrite the history of motorcycle racing was born.
Today, 46 years later, Valentino Rossi continues to be an iconic figure, the emblem of speed and passion.
To celebrate this special birthday, Dainese and AGV present an unprecedented combination – the Demone GP D-air® 3x suit and the Pista GP RR helmet, featuring the spectacular Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario graphics, specially created as a gift to Vale. A blend of the unmistakable fluorescent yellow hue, jet black color and gold-leaf details. Colors that narrate a career built on emotions and legendary victories. More than mere suit-helmet gear – an exclusive and precious collector’s kit, dedicated to fans all over the world.
The celebratory Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario kit will be produced for limited release throughout 2025 in a limited series of 46 numbered pieces signed by Valentino Rossi, housed in a special custom-made display case.
“I always wanted to share the most important stories in my life through my helmets and my suits. To all of you, I’ve always been the racing rider with the number 46. And you only turn 46 once. So, how else could I have celebrated, if not in the usual way?”
- Valentino Rossi
The Doctor returns to racing at Mugello with the 1st example of 46 Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario kits.
A unique celebration – the Dainese Demone GP suit and the AGV Pista GP RR helmet, worn by Valentino for a special test on the most iconic track ever.
