VALENTINO ROSSI 20 YEARS PISTA GP R

20 years of success
SINCE 1997 TILL TODAY: 20 YEARS OF SUCCESS CELEBRATED THROUGH AN ICONIC GRAPHIC!
Being a great champion means not only to win races, but also to keep on doing it with the same passion over the years! Valentino Rossi won his first 125cc world title exactly 20 years ago in 1997, and today still makes us dream every time he races. In 2017, with the invaluable and unfailing 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.
DEBUT ON THE WORLD STAGE

Valentino Rossi made his debut in GP racing at the 1996 Malaysian GP in the now-suppressed 125cc class, claiming a solid 6th place in his very first race at the Sepang Circuit. Son of Graziano, a former motorcycle GP racer himself, Valentino came to the world stage as the reigning 125cc Italian Champion and with an AGV X-Vent helmet whose graphics – designed together with Aldo Drudi – were going to become legendary.
