Additional photos of these Gibernau leathers are available here for your perusal.
Sete Gibernau was a Spanish motorcycle racer who had a lengthy career in GP racing that included two strokes, four strokes, and electric motorcycles (MotoE). He won nine races in the 500cc class and placed second overall runner-up in 2003 and 2004.
Sete switched from Honda to Suzuki for the 2001 season (the end of the 500cc two-stroke era) and raced for Telefonica Movistar Suzuki on a RGV500. His first-ever 500cc race win came this year at Valencia, conquering the the world’s best in front of 120,000 of his fellow countrymen – check out this photo from that race!
After his first win, Gibernau went on to score consistent points throughout the last four rounds of the season and finished 9th overall.
This suit was made by the Spanish company Garibaldi.
This was Sete’s suit from his Winter Test in the 2001 season.
There is minor wear from use but it does not appear to have been crashed in.
