Designer Aldo Drudi Explains Valentino Rossi's Signature Yellow

For the first time since 2000, the MotoGP season started without Valentino lining up on the premier class grid. Instead of throwing his leg over a Yamaha this year, The Doctor recently welcomed his newborn baby girl while he prepares for the 2022 GT World Challenge Europe with Belgium’s W Racing Team (WRT).

As Vale approaches his car racing debut, his long-time helmet designer Aldo Drudi revealed the 43-year-old driver’s new lid design for the 2022 season. Despite WRT’s gray and fluorescent red Audi livery, Rossi will continue sporting the Yamaha-inspired blue, light blue, and yellow color scheme. Along with the new helmet unveiling, Drudi explained the story behind The Doctor’s trademark Vale Yellow color.
