Rossi for president
Honorary president of helmet manufacturer AGV, that is.
In a ceremony held Aug. 29 in Riccione, Italy, marking the San Marino Grand Prix at the nearby Misano World Circuit, Rossi was named honorary president by Lino Dainese, the founder and president of AGVs parent company, Dainese S.p.a.
The seven-time grand prix champion on pace to winning his eighth is known for the uniquely designed AGV helmets he wears in competition, designed by Aldo Drudi. Earlier this season, Rossi wore a helmet painted to resemble a soccer ball at the Catalan Grand Prix, and at the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, Rossi wore a helmet with his own face painted on the top.
AGV also lists all-time Grand Prix wins leader Giacomo Agostini among its clientele, as well as former Formula One champions Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi and Nelson Piquet.
