November 2nd, on the Portimao track in Portugal, Andrew Pitt (TenKate Honda Team) will take to the circuit wearing a brand new pair of gold coloured boots designed especially for him by Sidi Sport to celebrate his 2008 championship title in the Supersport class. The finals haven't even taken place yet, but he's already staked his claim to fame as the undisputed world champion.
We're talking about the brand new Sidi Vortice "special edition", the boot that combines cutting edge technology with the master craftsmanship that has always been a signature of the Maser (TV) based company. Vortice was designed adapting a series of innovative solutions that make it much more than a simple boot. It's a perfect, unprecedented synthesis between comfort and protection that favours maximum performance.
The graphics and design for this particular model were also personalised for this special occasion with the number 88, which identifies the Australian "war machine". There are also special micro-fibre inserts detailed with special gold paint and the rainbow stripes that distinguishes the World Champion and lends a little extra touch of class to this already extraordinary boot.
