The Making of Valentino Rossi's 'Donkey' Helmet

When you mess up a race like Valentino Rossi did at Indianapolis, what do you do? Find plausible excuses and then go on to the next race or call yourself a stupid ass and make fun of yourself? After the Indy GP, Aldo Drudi got a text message from Rossi who had an idea for his helmet for the Misano GP.

Drudi came up with this one off helmet based on the famous Donkey from the Shrek movies, Rossi’s blue eyes from his 2008 Mugello helmet, his earring and a tooth cavity with the Yamaha logo and the result was one of Rossi’s more ironic helmets designs and here’s they made it.
