Riding with his Heart

You just have to love Valentino Rossi.

He's a fun guy, and he's probably the most talented motorcycle racer ever. And his fashion (i.e., helmet) sense is just impeccable.

Like all other motorcycle racers, Rossi has had at least dozens of helmet designs, and they are mostly based on his favourite colour, yellow.

And every year in his home race at Mugello, he would put on a brand new design. This year he literally rode with his heart by having a big red heart on top of his helmet.

Sure enough, he fought back from 8th position early on and won the Italian Grand Prix for the sixth year in succession.

I don't have an exhaustive list for his helmet designs. But this is a very good one.
