MotoGP | Misano poster, tribute to Valentino Rossi

2019 MotoGP San Marino and Rimini Riviera GP – The MotoGP will take place in Misano on September 15th and on the occasion of Valentino Rossi's 40th birthday, celebrated last February 16th, the official poster of the GP will be dedicated to the "Doctor".

It was designed by Aldo Drudi, as a sign of gratitude for the fundamental role that Rossi plays in fueling the passion for motorcycling in Riders' Land.

As written in the press release “From a graphic point of view it is a poster consistent with the image that radiates over the territory from the textures of the escape routes of the Marco Simoncelli and characterizes the communication of the great event scheduled in the heart of the Motor Valley. A project started by MWC and which for three years has been enriched by the genius of Aldo Drudi, an internationally renowned designer and famous in motorsport for his creativity and unmistakable style."

The 2019 proposal was welcomed by Dorna Sports, here is the comment from CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta: “The poster of the San Marino and Riviera di Rimini Grand Prix is ​​a consolidated communication event that introduces one of the most anticipated stages of the MotoGP calendar. This year's poster is really intense and communicates emotions!”.

“The Manifesto of the 2019 San Marino and Riviera di Rimini GP – says Aldo Drudi – starts from the graphic assumptions of the previous editions, but for the first time the subject, the driver, is identifiable. For Valentino Rossi's 40th birthday I wanted to pay him homage by choosing him as the protagonist, redesigning and hand-colouring a beautiful image taken by Gigi Soldano showing him in the fold from above.”

On the occasion of the GP there will be two MotoE races, races reserved for the electric motorbikes that debuted at the Sachsenring.
