 The flamboyant helmet design of Graziano Rossi, captured here at Spa Francorchamps in a rare shot aboard the Marlboro Yamaha in 1982, and equally distinctive riding style, have all the all the hallmarks of his son Valentino. Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.
