The colors may change, but the spectacle remains one of a kind. Welcome to the Italian Grand Prix, set against the dramatic ups and downs of Mugello. Where once the yellow of the “Doctor” Valentino Rossi reigned supreme, now the fiery red flags of reigning world champion Ducati wave proudly.
The Mugello International Circuit is synonymous with MotoGP, a permanent fixture on the Italian Grand Prix calendar since 1994, though it first hosted a race in 1976, when the legendary Barry Sheene claimed victory on his Suzuki 500cc.
The circuit has long been the scene of epic battles, with Italian riders taking center stage over the years: from Loris Capirossi and Max Biaggi to Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso, Danilo Petrucci, Enea Bastianini, and Pecco Bagnaia—winner of the last three Italian Grands Prix. Pecco also claimed back-to-back Sprint wins in 2023 and 2024, prompting the central grandstand to erupt in celebration to the sound of the Italian national anthem.
The thrills continue with the now-traditional track invasion and podium party, soundtracked by internationally renowned DJs.
The Rivalry – Ducati's great internal duel is set to resume in the Tuscan hills, as Italian riders aim for redemption: Pecco Bagnaia, Franco Morbidelli, Fabio Di Giannantonio, and Marco Bezzecchi on the Aprilia.
In Moto3, all eyes are on Guido Pini—the local rider from Scarperia—making his home Grand Prix debut as an official team member.
Five Races On the Program: MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, plus the young talents of the Red Bull Rookies Cup with two races, and the Sprint race scheduled for Saturday at 3:00 PM.
Three Days of Fun, Friday to Sunday:
The stars of the MotoGP weekend at Mugello won’t only be on the track. Fans gather each year for a true "Woodstock of motorsport," with concerts and DJ sets at the Correntaio stage, and the chance to camp inside the Autodrome from Thursday to Monday in designated BBQ and camping areas.
Fan Events:
It all starts on Thursday with press day and a charity pit lane walk.
Don’t miss the Meet & Greet with the riders on the Correntaio Stage, Saturday from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
Next to the central grandstand, Hero Walks are held Saturday and Sunday mornings—featuring DJ sets, autograph sessions, and selfie time with the riders.
Moto3 and Moto2 Hero Walk: Saturday, 11:45 AM to 12:15 PM
MotoGP Hero Walk: Sunday, 10:20 AM to 10:40 AM
Also returning: the spectacular Riders Parade on track.
Sunday Celebration:
The climax of the weekend is the MotoGP starting grid, marked by the solemn playing of the Italian national anthem and a thrilling air show by the Italian Air Force.
But the party doesn’t stop with the checkered flag—DJ sets light up the MotoGP podium, followed by the traditional track invasion. A not-to-be-missed event where, hopefully once again, the Italian anthem will be the soundtrack to victory.
