MotoGP Valencia: Here is Rossi's helmet to remember his friend Simoncelli
di Alessio BrunoriNovember 5, 2011
He had promised it, and today Valentino Rossi wore a helmet during the third free practice session of the Grand Prix of the Valencian Community to remember his friend Marco Simoncelli (see photo), who tragically passed away in Sepang in an accident involving innocent people Rossi himself and Colin Edwards.
In addition to Rossi, other colleagues of his also wanted to remember "SuperSic", putting a small number 58 on their motorbikes or on their suits or helmets. Capirossi instead asked and obtained permission to run his last race of a very long career with the number 58 instead of the usual 65.
