The Dainese D-Air motorcycle airbag |

As the "official safety partner" of the famous Isle of Man race for the third year in a row, the Italian motorcycle equipment brand wishes "to bring a strong safety message to one of the most dangerous circuits in the world ".
Lorenzo, who uses the Dainese airbag in MotoGP like Rossi, will take a lap in the company of his compatriot Angel Nieto, winner of 90 Grands Prix and 13 world championships. "But being particularly superstitious, he prefers to say that he won 12 plus 1," Dainese said. !
"I am really happy to have the opportunity to participate in the Tourist Trophy and to go around the track with Angel on the R1", rejoices the n ° 99 of the Fiat Yamaha team. "It will be a very great honor for me, because it is one of the most famous and legendary competitions in history, which has retained all the authentic character of motorcycling: the riders who race here deserve the greatest respect . In addition, I am proud to be able to provide my testimony on the use of D-Air® racing, as Dainese Safety ambassador ".
Dainese has been testing its D-Air airbag in competition for several years, with the support of pilots such as Guy Martin (Tourist Trophy), Marco Simoncelli, Simone Giorgi, Valentino Rossi or Jorge Lorenzo..
"It’s been a long time since I went to the Isle of Man and it will be very moving to return there for the Tourist Trophy", indicates Guy Martin: "it is a very difficult course, reserved for excellent pilots, and a special race, different from all other MotoGP races. Winning the TT has always been a big challenge for the riders and I’m very curious to see what has changed. ".
