Extract from our Diecast Monthly Magazine BR69 - July 2009
Valentino Rossi only campaigned a single ‘one-off’ livery last year, at the Catalunya Grand Prix in Barcelona.
Commemorating Italy’s progress in Euro 2008, his Yamaha YZR-M1 was imaginatively decked out in the colours of his country’s football strip! His leathers were also extremely eye-catching, painted up as a blue T-shirt, white shorts, and pink arms and legs! And, to complete the ensemble, he donned a football helmet for the race as well!
He got caught up in the pack at the start while Dani Pedrosa made his escape and sped off to victory. After a fantastic scrap with Ducati’s Casey Stoner, Valentino fought back to take the runner-up position.
Minichamps has announced a 1:12 bike, 1:12 figure, and 1:8 helmet from the race, which have already been huge hits for us in the last 12 months. All are due in the last quarter of this year. You can buy the whole set for much less than the infamous Catalunya ‘show bike’ which is currently doing the rounds for about £400 on eBay!
