With the cyber TwitGP becoming the must event of this 2010 racing season, we should have expected that many teams would want to have a special one off liveries and rider’s would want special edition helmets to celebrate this weekend’s race, like this Valentino Rossi Twitter helmet.

Rossi decided not to contact Aldo Drudi who usually designs the graphics on his helmet’s, but has decided to give an unknown English designer her chance to fame and fortune and she’s come up with this lid design in Rossi’s favourite blue and yellow colours.

We wonder what AGV is going to make us pay for this original helmet.
