On Saturday at his home Misano round, Valentino Rossi unveiled a special helmet, dedicated to💯 his much missed friend Marco Simoncelli, featuring🧸 the artwork and lyrics from Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here".

Like Rossi, Misano was Simoncelli's local circuit and is now named in honour of the 250cc w🍒orld champion, who lost his life in a racing incident involving Rossi and Colin Edwards at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix.

"This time we decided to make something more serious because it is al𒈔ready quite a long time that Marco is not with us, but here is his racetrack - more than me because his house is closer and also the circuit is in his name," explained Rossi.

"So we decided to remember him with a song from Pink Floyd, that every time I hear I remember Marco. This was the idea. A tribute to 🤡him."
