Rossi to debut airbag suit at Donington MotoGP?

Rumours circulating the British GP paddock yesterday at Donington suggest Valentino Rossi will race in Dainese’s D-Air Racing suit for the first time on Sunday.

The suit, which uses complex technology to activate BEFORE a rider is crashing, is currently being worn by his Fiat Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo­ who requested it after his Laguna Seca highside earlier this month, plus 250 stars Marco Simoncelli and Thomas Luthi, as well as 125 rider Michael Ranseder.
