MotoGP returns to the legendary Mugello for the Italian GP
It is finally time to head to the hills of Tuscany. The MotoGP circus lands at Mugello for the Brembo Grand Prix of Italy, and the atmosphere is already electric. Marco Bezzecchi arrives at this cathedral of speed as the championship leader, clinging to a 15-point cushion that looks anything but secure on a circuit this demanding.
Thursday sets the stage with the usual media frenzy, featuring an Italian trio of Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Di Giannantonio of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, and the Ducati Lenovo Team’s Francesco Bagnaia. By Friday morning, the silence of the Italian countryside will be shattered by the sound of machines, starting with the lightweight class before the premier class machines dive into their crucial hour-long Practice session at 15:00. This is where the battle for Q2 entry begins in earnest.
Saturday is a non-stop blockbuster of a day, culminating in the Tissot Sprint at 15:00. The weekend hits its peak on Sunday at 14:00, when the MotoGP field lines up for 23 laps of absolute madness at Mugello. It is a massive schedule, further bolstered by the addition of the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, making this seventh round one we simply cannot miss.
