Here are some neat photos of Valentino Rossi's racing helmet we wore during his home MotoGP round at Misano. A truly unique and deeply meaningful design created by Aldo Drudi, expressing the regret The Doctor feels after the death of his good friend and fellow rider Marco Simoncelli.
If by any twisted chance you still don't know Pink Floyd's song Wish You Were Here, maybe it's time to look for it and have a good hundreds of times listening to it.

It's soon when MotoGP fans around the world will remember Marco Simoncelli, who died on October 23rd after a very bad crash at Sepang, Malaysia. Super Sic came off his bike a very short distance in front of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, with the two unable to avoid crashing directly into him at very high speed.

Edwards was hurt, having dislocated a shoulder, while Simoncelli died shortly after being rushed to the hospital.

We're happy to see The Doctor getting through with such a nice, even though sad message. It would be great if Roger Waters and David Gilmour would license AGV to make replicas of this helmet. So truly nice!
