A special date
Spectacle and passion are always present every year at the circuit of Mugello. The character of the Italian fans, one of the most fervent in the world, and the technical characteristics of the track make the Italian GP into one of the favourites of both riders and racing fans.
The circuit of Mugello is one of the most complicated and complete in the World Championship. Fast, with difficult corners and with many contrasts, etc. It has a bit of everything. One of the aspects that riders emphasise is that it is fast, this is because it is one of the fastest in the calendar.
The circuit has many chicanes, although they are very fast and at the same time there are a large number of ups and downs. The right choice of tyres is very important at this circuit as the ondulating track brings additional stress to the rubber and their performance here is more critical than at any other circuit.
The spectacular atmosphere on the stands at the Italian circuit is the other aspect that stands out at this race which is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. This is because this weekend the circuit of Mugello will hold its 24th GP, its twentieth consecutive MotoGP race.
