MotoGP | Helmets revealed for winter testing

MotoGP Helmets Test Sepang – Less than 24 hours before the start of pre-season testing on the Sepang circuit in Malaysia and after having attended the presentations of some of the bikes that will take part in next season, the riders present the helmets that they will use over the winter.

We have already seen that of Valentino Rossi, already used in the Sepang private tests last December and what Andrea Dovizioso will use for the entire season. Today many riders have "unveiled" their customized helmets.

Maverick Vinales: The Spaniard decided to pay homage to his homeland, Cadaqués, located a few kilometers from the land where Salvador Dalí was born. For this reason, on the helmet of #25 there is a clear stylized reference to what is perhaps one of the painter's most famous works: "The persistence of memory".

Marc Marquez: The reigning world champion opted for a more sober style, the Formica on the shell and the use of only red and black.

Andrea Iannone: On the occasion of the presentation of the new Suzuki GSX-RR motorbike, the rider from Vasto also presented the new helmet. Also in this case a very simple, almost stylized design on a black background. The most important news concerns the brand, in fact the #29 will use HJC helmets from this season.

Aleix Espargarò: Helmet with an artic mimetic-like color with reference not only to his great passion, the bicycle, but also to his family, with the image (emoticons) of a woman encouraging her with two baby bottles. The Spanish driver in fact announced a few days ago that in a few months he will become the father of twins.
