Rossi has officially entered the final phase of his career. The Doctor is retiring, and when he does, we’ll be forced to move on without him. What makes this reality so difficult to accept is that the sport of motorcycle racing will never be the same without one of its most excellent ambassadors.
Rossi’s farewell helmet livery has been in the making for a while, and we finally get to see it. Vale’s retiring from MotoGP — soon — but will his career be over by 2021?
There’s been much chatter from fans worldwide about what Rossi might do in his post-racing career. He’s been so humble and calm about it, even joking it would be an extended vacation. But we all know that Vale doesn’t get holidays.

Rossi’s helmet is covered in small details that are often only really visible in the flesh. So there has been great anticipation to see what sort of design it would have when painted.
The 46 no is present on the head, which matches the yellow colour scheme’s darker shade in the head area of the helmet.
