Valentino Rossi

The Doctor, number 46, the rider who dragged motorcycle grand prix racing into the mainstream and kept it there. Nine world titles, packed grandstands wherever he turned up, and a career long enough to span three decades of the sport, from two-strokes to the modern MotoGP era. This is a stylised figure of him rather than a portrait bust, built to collector-toy proportions for a desk or a cabinet shelf next to a model bike. The leathers and the full-face helmet do most of the work; what matters is that he is recognisable at a glance from across the room. It will land with MotoGP followers, anyone who sat through the Rossi rivalries of the 2000s and 2010s, and fans assembling a shelf of racing memorabilia. An easy gift for the motorbike obsessive who owns every other piece of merchandise already.
