Look at Jack Miller's nose as he lifts his visor at Chang International Circuit. Our Dilli sits under that black strip of tape. Fellow MotoGP rider Pol Espargaró also wears the Swiss nasal dilator under his helmet. What does that have to do with your next ride?

It slips into place

Dilli sits in your nose and supports the sides of your nostrils from within. It takes only a few seconds to insert. So what is the black strip on Jack's nose for? He uses it for extra hold. For your own ride, you can simply slip Dilli into place. It is reusable, so you can take it with you next time too.

Know that feeling under your helmet?

Helmet on, chin strap fastened. The cheek pads fit snugly. Ever feel them pressing your cheeks inwards and narrowing the sides of your nose? If breathing through your nose is already difficult, you can sometimes feel the difference before the first kilometre.

Whether you are out for a short evening ride or spending the day crossing mountain passes, you want to breathe easily, clear your head and enjoy the road. You can try how Dilli feels while you are still standing still.

Five seconds before your next ride

Breathe in through your nose. With two fingers, gently pull the skin beside your nostrils outwards, then breathe in again. Can you feel a difference straight away?

If that makes breathing feel easier and you would like to try Dilli, you can find it here. Put it in before setting off, put on your helmet and take a moment to check the fit. Enjoy the ride!
