As well as getting to test his new Ducati GP12 at Sepang, Valentino Rossi also got the chance to test out a vicious looking prototype AGV helmet.

Rossi wore the helmet on Day 1 of the Sepang test before reverting to his ‘Marco Simoncelli Tribute Helmet‘ later on in the test.

The new AGV prototype helmet, which we will nickname ’46 Project’, as that was written down the side, was completely black, with an extended spoiler on the rear, that is presumably designed to help with aerodynamics and ensuring that wind resistance is more effectively passed over the rider. The visor looked wider, and the chin of the helmet also looked more aggressive and shaped.

When trying the new prototype helmet on, it is reported that Rossi said: “wow, it’s like being at the movies!”

Product Description: AGV GP-Tech Rossi Chicken Helmet

The Valentino Rossi limited edition ‘The Chicken’ AGV helmet features the new ‘Chicken’ graphics that were worn by Rossi in celebration of his 9th World Championship, which he achieved in the 2009 Malaysian Moto GP. Valentino also wore this crowd-pleasing motorcycle helmet during the MotoGP winter tests. This is the top of the range AGV helmet, that has been designed and developed with Rossi’s support. Taking the best from the previous road race helmets (Ti-tech, GP-Pro) and from the AGV racetrack experience, GP-Tech matches lightness, ventilation and comfort with an extremely innovative and aerodynamic design.

This top of the line AGV GP Tech helmet features a cartoon chicken on the top, laying an egg with the number 9 on it and designed by Aldo Drudi represents a joke on Rossi’s age (31 this year) and is based on an old Italian saying “Gallina Vecchia fa buon brodo” which means the old chicken makes good broth, but doesn’t lay eggs, instead Rossi laid another egg with his 9th world title.
