The all-seeing eye...
AGV have just launched this new Rossi-replica lid. Here's what they have to say about it:
The limited edition of Valentino Rossi’s helmet with the big eye looking onto the world, worn by the many times Italian champion for the Mugello MotoGP 2011, is now available in the shops.
A helmet which will attract attention given the unusual graphics developed jointly with Aldo Drudi and showing Valentino’s big blue eye along with the colours of the Italian flag,and certainly out of the ordinary since the Italian champion himself used it to launch an important message: “watch out because sooner or later there’s going to be a change”.
The helmet used for this collector’s piece, limited edition is a model which Valentino wears on a daily basis and is extremely familiar with.
The GP-TECH, top of the AGV range, has been designed and developed with the technical support of the nine times world champion; a helmet produced by merging the best features of the AVG race models (GP Pro, Ti-Tech ) with the Italian company’ racing experience to offer a lightweight, comfortable and extremely aerodynamic, innovative design.
