Here is the announcement from Dainese Group…
(February 16, 2025) – Valentino Rossi celebrates his 46th birthday. A special anniversary for the professional rider with number 46, which he kept as his racing number throughout his career and never abandoned, even during those seasons where he could have flaunted the reigning champion’s number 1. A number that’s in his heart because adopted in the World Championship by his father Graziano. The number 46 was officially withdrawn from the 2022 season of MotoGP, the first after Rossi’s retirement from motorcycle racing competitions.
46 stands for Valentino Rossi, it’s always been his racing number and good luck charm—this is why his 46thbirthday deserves an even more special celebration.
For this occasion, Dainese Group—which has been supporting Valentino with the Dainese and AGV brands since the beginning of his legendary journey—designed a limited-edition Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario kit, featuring elements that made Valentino Rossi’s style legendary and hyper-exclusive, precious gold-leaf details.
The kit, which comes with a collector’s display case, includes a Dainese Demone GP D-air 3x suit in kangaroo leather and a Pista GP RR helmet – part of the most evolved equipment of MotoGP riders, in Valentino Rossi’s custom sizes—and boasts a black and carbon base with unique gold-leaf details as well as Valentino’s unmissable fluorescent yellow hue.
Only 46 numbered pieces of this exclusive collector’s helmet-and-suit combination—unsuitable for track and road riding—will be made and sold, signed by Valentino Rossi and with a certificate of authenticity, in limited batches throughout the year, in selected Dainese stores around the world, VR46 sales outlet and other chosen outlets such as museums, racetracks and art galleries.
The suit with number 01/46 and featuring even more exclusive added details will be auctioned off to support a charitable cause chosen by Dainese and Valentino. Further details will be released in a dedicated communication.
A unique and special way to pay tribute to the man, the champion, the legend, and to share this milestone with 46 of his most devoted fans and all lovers of the beauty that only an item conceived for maximum performance can express.
Happy birthday, Vale!
