Valentino Rossi

With 9 world titles and 55 pole positions, Valentino Rossi is a living legend who has redefined motorcycling. His unique style, the iconic number 46, and his personalized helmets — symbols of expression and connection with fans — have made him an icon both on and off the track.

In February 2007, during the pre-season tests at the Sepang circuit, Valentino Rossi, riding the Yamaha M1 800cc, recorded an incredible lap time of 2’00.936, nearly matching the pole position of the previous year’s Grand Prix.

The AGV Pista GP helmet worn by Rossi during those tests was not a simple piece of equipment, but a true work of art. Characterized by the iconic number 46 and the depiction of a sword, the design expressed strength and determination. Internally, the helmet was custom-fitted, with padding designed to provide maximum comfort during intense testing sessions. The outer shell offered the best technology and safety available at the time.

Helmets worn by Valentino Rossi are among the rarest and most sought-after collectibles. This particular helmet, worn during the Sepang 2007 tests, is a true treasure — a symbol of a legendary career and one of the most iconic moments in MotoGP history.
