Nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi unveiled his usual Misano special crash helmet this morning.

This year it is a riff on the Pink Floyd album cover Wish You Were Here and is presumably a tribute to his late, great friend Marco Simoncelli who was killed at Sepang in 2011.

Rossi and Simoncelli, after whom the Misano circuit is now named, were very close friends and both from villages a stone's throw from the Italian circuit.
