Apparently that helmet cost 12,000 Euro ~ $18,000. Comentators said that shit is real diamonds... not sure if thats true. It was auctioned off after the race. Can you imagine if he would have ate shit after Simoncelli stuffed it up the inside?? You would have had little diamonds spewed all over the track. It would have been a free for all for the corner workers!
I had to pause and rewind when I saw Vale alone with his bike up against the guardrail, saying goodbye for the last time... touching moment.
