Misano Magic Blue VR46 Pill

The Misano MotoGP is a special event for Rossi as the circuit is only a handful of miles from his home-town of Tavullia, making this about as close to a ‘home race’ as practicably possible.

Last year’s graphic creation paid homage to the Romagna cuisine that Rossi grew up on; with his signature sun and stars design changed to Piadina flatbread and watermelon slice. Prior to that The Doctor ran graphics featuring Back To The Future references (marking his return to the Misano after being forced to miss the race due to injury), as well as a Blues Brother design in 2016, which displayed Rossi and his best friend Alessio Salucci, aka ‘Uccio’, re-enacting the iconic look of his favourite film.

Naturally Rossi’s pets - two dogs and a cat - are ever present, as well as a turtle, which was Rossi’s first mascot when he raced minimoto as a child. Check out Rossi’s helmets from the past three years. Note that in 2017 Rossi missed Misano due to fracturing his leg in an Enduro accident.
