Mugello MotoGP Motorcycle Tour

DAY 2: CHIANTI LOOP (228 km / 141 miles)

Are you ready to be blown away by the roads of Tuscany? Today we ride the Chianti region on roads that are a true paradise for motorcyclists. Throttle along curves in the hills, miles of vineyards, and dozens of stately villas.

Our first stop is Greve in Chianti, the birthplace of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who was the first to sail into New York Bay.

Then we ride the curves to the gorgeous hilltown of San Gimignano. This splendorous “la città delle torri” (the city of towers) is wrapped by a 13^th century wall and is a unique testimony to a past civilization. It was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990.

Then we slither north on the backroads back to Florence.

DAY 3: DUCATI LOOP (243 km / 151 miles)

This day is completely dedicated to Ducati!

We start the day heading north and challenge The Futa Pass and the Raticosa Pass. These two beautiful mountain passes in the Tosco-Emiliano Pennine are part of the Ducati test circuit where new bikes are developed.

Then we will visit the Ducati Factory and Museum, to see and hear the exciting red machines of Borgo Panigale. Ducati has always represented a unique motorcycle philosophy that fuses Italian genius to contemporary design and avant-garde technology. They make a damn sexy bike!

We leave the red two wheeled beauties behind to give our right hands a workout on the Porrettana Road on our way back to Florence.

DAY 4: FREE DAY IN FIRENZE

Explore Florence on your own. Our hotel is an easy walk to many of the great sights.

The museums, palaces and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures of the world.

The Uffizi, the Duomo, the Baptistry, the Bargello and the Academia alone could easily fill your day.

The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries, and the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo’s architectural genius.

Wander the old streets of the city until you reach the Arno River and cross the Ponte Vecchio.

Enjoy the vast and varied art housed in the Pitti Palace or leave the enclosed halls behind and walk in the Bobboli Gardens.

There are lots of options. We will give you the resources you need to plan a day just right for you.

DAY 5: QUALIFYING LOOP AND MOTOGP QUALIFYING (188 km – 117 miles)

After a day spent being “good tourists” it is time again to unleash our passion for motorcycles!

Before we arrive at Mugello we tackle the Gioco Pass and Sambuca Pass. These two passes are well known to Italian riders and Sambuca in particular has seen many new Ducati test bikes.

We take a short break in Palazzolo Sul Sieno before arrive at Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello to attend the MotoGP qualifying.

There’s massive crowds here even on qualifying day and you begin to understand this isn’t just a race, it’s a giant party. Thanks to careful research we avoid much of the traffic when we leave and take a little known route back to Florence.
