MotoGP Mugello & Rossi's New Lid design

[sprinter885]

Nice to see Rossi on pole for tomorrow. Mind you as a 7 times winner on "home" track he's no excuses for not has he? I'm tickled by his face design on his helmet for this weekend.
A couple of images on MotoGP official web site made me chuckle at the thought of anybody looking over their shoulder down the straight-they'd see his face looking straight at 'em through the bubble -even with his head down!

Gotta admire his sense of humour.

Exactly !

I wonder if this will be the start of a new trend, like the big cartoon eyes a lot of the Japanese riders have.

I shudder at the thought of Joe Public getting his mug on the top of his helmet.

'I'm just like Rossi, innit?.' No, you're not. .

I do think that helmet is great

+1 for the new design. Made me chuckle at the end of qualifying when they were showing the slo-mo of him, head down, coming down the start/finish straight.

ETA Come on Rawwr, I know you're not his biggest fan but even you must be tempted to try & get that one?

First is funny, 2nd a giggle but the 3rd and the joke starts to wear off.

A peeled open paint job revealing a brain, or lack of brain might be a good one for qualifying.

Think it's great, just like his performance today good to see the doctor back on form. Is it me or have the Stoner camp gone a bit quiet on here?

[Rawwr]

No, I'm still here! Today was indeed a great race and Catalunya promises more of the same

I thought this pic was excellent:

some rider but not anywhere near as good as rossi

[macdeb]

That's one cool picture. Can almost see the sulk on Pedrosas face.

Has anybody found a decent wallpaper size pic of Rossi's lid on the 'net yet?

All the phots on motogp.com, etc. seem to be quite small, not seen any big pics out there yet.
