During the GP Generali de la Comunitat Valenciana, Valentino Rossi will use a new helmet dedicated to his friend Marco Simoncelli.
To demonstrate how much Rossi was affected by the tragedy at the Malaysian GP two weeks ago, Rossi’s helmet will be divided in half. The front part of the AGV GP Tech will be exactly like Simoncelli’s, with its red and white motif and ever present number 58, while the back will maintain the colours Rossi used throughout the 2011 season.
Rossi will use the helmet throughout the weekend at Valencia.

“I really miss Sic, and I still haven’t completely realised what happened. I thought the least I could do was dedicate my helmet to him and to his number, 58. Here in Valencia number 58 is all over the paddocks, everyone wants to remember him. Sic, this helmet is for you!”
