During an event held in Riccione yesterday evening to mark the San Marino Grand Prix, Lino Dainese, the founder and current president of Dainese S.p.a., appointed Valentino Rossi as Honorary President of AGV, the historic Italian crash helmet manufacturing firm that Dainese acquired in 2007. Dainese decided to bestow this prestigious title on Valentino in heartfelt recognition of its esteem and faith in the man, rather than the champion, sealing their collaboration that has grown and consolidated over many years of working and obtaining results together.
