06 June | Gran Premio D’Italia 2010
The MotoGP at Mugello is one of the blue ribbon events on the MotoGP calendar and a must-see for any aficionado. The twisty, hilly Tuscan circuit is attended by the most enthusiastic MotoGP fans on the planet – the Italians! The atmosphere is so electric you will feel it buzzing through your veins. At the end of the race the track is opened and fans converge in their thousands in front of the podium – usually to watch hero Valentino Rossi standing in the centre. Speaking of whom - the Doctor has made it seven in a row here - it has gotten to the point where winning Mugello is nearly as important as the championship!
Spectator viewing at Mugello is very good, although crowded in some sections. For this reason a Grandstand seat is strongly recommended; however they usually sell out a long time in advance – the Poggio Secco is our favourite with long panoramic views over the curve of the same name, but if you want to catch the awesome straight (about the fastest in MotoGP), start grid and the mad podium rush, opt for the covered Centrale. All have TV screens. The tickets are regrettably the most expensive in motogp; unless you are certain to attend on Friday we recommend 2 day tickets.
But when only the best will do, we offer the Pole Position Club : a private VIP suite on pit roof featuring full catering, private terrace overlooking the main straight and pits; CCTV, and our own private pit and paddock tours. Remember, the MotoGP VIP Village is NOT available at this event for general sales. This is our TOP VIP of the year; in 2008 we had special guests turn up including British rider Danny Webb, BBC commentator Steve Parrish and the legendary Giacomo Agostini.
We offer a range of packages at Mugello. We love Florence and base our packages there. Our Classic package in a well-loved 3* hotel is superb value for money, and is cheaper than in 2008! A great biking destination, our hotels all offer secure bike parking. Our Superior is in a great 4* Villa hotel in a Florentine suburb. Both packages feature optional Friday track transfers, Friday opening party, Sat/Sun transfers. We also offer our Sunday Florentine evening winding-down dinner (optional extra). Want to get away from it all? Our special Villa Package is all-inclusive DB&B at a sumptuous 4*+ rural hotel where we take care of you from the minute you land!
Saving the best for last, our top package in 2009 is the sublime Royal Package in a stunning 15th century Palazzo in the heart of old Florence. A VIP reception on Friday is followed by our opening party; Saturday we take you to the track in our VIP shuttle; and on Sunday you bypass the worst traffic in MotoGP in our helicopter transfers! Truly the creme de la creme!
