PICTURES: Rossi's Catalunya livery.

Awesome...Just AWESOME!

How did Vale get through scrutineering with his pyjamas on ?

I am from Holland but I am fan of Rossi too )) So I hope Rossi win this time in Spain and football is not SO important for me. Hope it will be a good match... Hup Hup Holland ))

This has got me started on one of my pet hates - changes in livery but more especially helmet design. Can anyone say that just by looking at a riders crash helmet these days you know who it is, or even what day of the week it is?

Riders used to have a design that stayed with them, think Sheene, Roberts, Mamola, Dunlop, Hailwood, Ago etc etc - now they change them more often than their pants!!

Sorry to go on but its just another money making scam by helmet manufacturers

You don't have to buy the helmet if it comes out..
do you?

It's just a little something to mix it up, and i
suppose the riders are in position to say...
'i want that helmet or the bike to look like this'

I've purchased all the rossi lid's since 2001, yes
it's cost me a good whack, but it's worth it..

..i just need to take the last few to donny 'DOC'
so i can get rossi to sign them..

But don't think it's an ebay stunt, i'd never sell em!

I like the changing of colors and I don't mind being difficult to understand who is who.

Helmet manufacturers don't give a damn as long as their logo is stamped big and nice at the front so everybody sees it.

I liked the painting of the fairing so as to resemble a shirt (with the white stripes at the edge of the blue) but that pink is questionable to say the least.

Whats Lorenzo colour scheme this weekend he should run in the spainish colours that would be good.

Rossi could ride with a green paint scheme and leathers and you would still know
it was him. The only one I didn't really like was the NSR500 where he binned it.
Think is was a Hawaiian theme.

Bet the blue still goes fast though.

Another race like last year would suit me fine.
Off the Silverstone though so will have to watch the replay.

very classy and styli*****

The pink is be the skin.

> Awesome...Just AWESOME!

I agree! But I thought last year's livery was too cute. What do you say Mansi

I love it when the guys do special schemes and helmets. I must say though that I dont particularly like this one

The one at assen last year?

Wasn't one of the best, but it's rossi
he likes to be different.

this is just brilliant tho, i can't wait to see it on tv

what a Pokeman...

At the risk of upsetting Uccioba ^ I must say that I like it too.

Pink???? mmmmhh..

The pink is supposed to be skin, it's difficult to see when he's on the bike, but it looks like he's wearing a football kit with shorts etc.

It looks great, very football like. I am not a footy fan but understand their enthousiasm towards the EC.
This scheme still looks better than last years Abarth bike IMO.
Go Vale!

Abarth white red yellow and black bike? the one with the Abarth scorpion logo?
i think it was one of the nicer ones.

"Can anyone say that just by looking at a riders crash helmet these days you know who it is"

Rossi's helmet last week was pretty identifiable haha
