Pretty funny tbh as Rossi had a shark helmet design in Misano to represent Lorenzo chasing him in the tittle challenge and now Lorenzo switches to Shark helmets

I've had a Shark lid in the past and I would have another.

Surprising to see him pick a French brand though

He wasn't happy with HJC and I guess AGV weren't going to have him and I don't ever remember him being a shoei or arai rider.

Probably as simple as Shark were throwing buckets of cash at the deal and wanted a top rider in their brand of helmet.

I think it was inevitable after the issues he had in two races this season.

I guess Shark want a top rider wearing their gear and have paid him handsomely to do so.

Apparently Yamaha management weren't happy he was (in their words) not using a premium brand of helmet so perhaps after the 2 high profile incidents last season they have given the decision a helping hand.
