These days it has almost become a requirement to feature a special edition helmet on the occasion of your home grand prix. Valentino Rossi is the undisputed leader in this regard, but his colleagues are trying their best to catch him up. Starline, which handles the graphics for several riders, including Nicky Hayden and Andrea Iannone, has prepared an Incredible Hulk themed helmet for the Italian, obviously taking inspiration from the acid green color scheme of his SpeedUP.

The pictures look great, and now we just have to see it in action to pass a final judgment.  Hopefully it will provide Andrea with some extra strength for his home race.
