FDJ’s Murilo Fischer, paid tribute to Aryton Senna, during stage 11 of this year’s Giro d’Italia, by painting his helmet to match that of the deceased Formula 1 racing icon, as Wednesday’s race finished along the famous Imola Racing Circuit, where Senna tragically died, after hitting a wall during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Senna was immensely popular, and his tragic death had a huge impact on Brazil, where Fischer is from.
Images of Fischer wearing the special helmet were posted on Twitter by FDJ trainer David Han and the Belgian TV channel Sporza.
