Valentino Rossi unveiled his latest helmet design at Mugello on Saturday, called the Jolly Joker.

The superstitious amongst us will be hoping never to see this helmet again, as Rossi suffered a horrific crash in the morning warm-up and broke his right shinbone. He was airlifted to hospital and operated on successfully, but the injury will likely keep him out of action for the next 6 races, and surely ruins any hopes of Rossi being able to retain his World Championship title for this year.

The helmet is another Drudi design and features Rossi’s face as the Joker in the center of a playing card. Rossi is also seen to be wearing a jesters hat with the Yamaha logo positioned at front and center. The sun and moon feature on the sides of the design and Rossi’s bulldogs once again can be seen at the back.
