Exhibition “symbol” of the great MotoGP champions

Made available thanks to Dainese, the historied producer of technical and protective gear for athletes, these kits represent a process that, going back to 1980 and continuing through 2020, was a decisive period for the evolution for protective technology in the history of motorcycle racing. It starts in 1980 with the most vintage of the kits, worn by Jon Ekerold, to go on to 1992 with Eddie Lawson and 1997 with Max Biaggi. But there is one date that all the fans of MotoGp can’t forget – 2011 – and one name:Marco Simoncelli.  We then come to 2019 with Valentino Rossi, and conclude in 2020 with Franco Morbidelli. It is a touching review that will thrill even those who are not particularly expert on the subject of motorcycle racing, between vintage and modern kits, all of which bring to mind the glorious experience of their owners … personalities who left their mark over the years and on whose kits, still today, we can observe – and recall with the same shiver of dread – the marks left by the falls and accidents that seemed to be an inevitable feature of all their races.
