BP ordered a new AGV 'FaceIt' helmet.
Seems it was shipped to the wrong address.

"It has been my first real mistake during this season: to regain some time after a corner out of trajectory, I had to brake where I shouldn't..." Valentino said after his fall at Indianapolis Moto GP...
And so, with good sense of humor he decided to emphasize his mistake showing an helmet with a very particular face on it: a donkey!!!
The Donkey, that takes place of The Doctor in the helmet's graphic, is the new AGV Valentino's face, after the big success of the ones used at Mugello '08 and '09...a sort of new tool for Valentino to comunicate with all his fans and supporters.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Derby knew that.
Rossi's interview on motogp.com had him saying that in Italy if you make a bad mistake they call you a donkey, so he's The Donkey this weekend to make right on his mistake from Indy. My money says Derby watched the interview.
I love on the back of the helmet, his dogs are both wearing donkey ears. AGV better make this one available as a replica. Sign me up for one. Too funny.
