Moto2 World Champion and current MotoGP rookie Franco Morbidelli is one of the more curious characters on the Grand Prix grid.

Italian and Brazilian flags and shades jostle for space on the AGV headwear and the explosion of colours was created by a famed helmet designer and painter who has been Valentino Rossi’s friend and style guru for two decades.
