Being a great champion means not only winning races, but also doing it with the same passion over the years! Valentino Rossi won his first 125cc world title more than 20 years ago in 1997, and since then he has always raced in AGV Helmets.

With the collaboration of designer Aldo Drudi, AGV developed a special graphic that is based on the one Valentino had when he secured his first victory, the famous sun/moon, and re-adapts it to the Pista GP R helmet, which features visible carbon, neon yellow instead of yellow, and a revised logo to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first victory. This is because Valentino is not just a great motorcycling champion, but also an internationally famous Italian icon.
