Dainese to auction Rossi’s #thisforSIC58 race suit

On Wednesday at 2pm (BST) you can bid to win the very Dainese D-air race suit as worn by MotoGP superstar Valentino Rossi during his 300^th Grand Prix at Mugello earlier this month when 'The Doctor' finished in 3rd place.

The auction has been set up by Dainese and the 9-time World Champion to raise funds for the Simoncelli Foundation in support of the Santa Marta Day Centre for the disabled at Coriano which was set-up in memory of Marco Simoncelli, Valentino’s friend who was tragically killed during the Malaysian Grand Prix in 2011.

Each week, beginning this Wednesday, an item worn and signed by a Dainese rider will be put up for auction with all proceeds being donated to the Foundation, and what better way to start than Rossi’s Mugello race suit with #thisforSIC58 embroidered across the rear.

As well as Mr. Rossi, Dainese’s motorcycling athletes are:

NICKY HAYDEN

STEFAN BRADL

ANDREA IANNONE

LUIS SALOM

SANDRO CORTESE

FRANCO MORBIDELLI
