MotoGP, For Valentino Mugello becomes... MuYELLOW

For Valentino Mugello becomes... MuYELLOW

Mugello has been turned yellow by the flags of Valentino's fans and so it becomes… Mugiallo (yellow in Italian). This is the idea behind the special helmet that Rossi has prepared, as per tradition, for his home Grand Prix. His colour transforms the Tuscan hillside and the name of the circuit follows suit.

The livery pays tribute to the track (which is depicted on the top) and it blends with one of the Doctor's symbols, the yellow of his people. There are two Italian flags on the chin bar, whereas Valentino's animal friends pay homage to the three-coloured pattern.

On the back the two dogs, Cesare and Cecilia, and the Tuscan cat are green, white and red like the Italian flag.

As always, the graphics were created by Aldo Drudi.
