The MotoGP lands in Tuscany

Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Marc Márquez arrive highly motivated at the Mugello circuit, the venue of the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

After the excitement two weeks ago at the Le Mans circuit, the MotoGP World Championship continues to increase the intensity with one of the most spectacular races of the season: the Italian Grand Prix, at the Mugello circuit. Set in an idyllic backdrop, the passion and atmosphere surrounding the Italian event give a unique flavour to a race that Pedrosa, Dovizioso and Márquez reach with the ambition of being among the fastest of the weekend.

In the MotoGP category, Andrea Dovizioso's podium finish in the French Grand Prix allows him to arrive at one of the most long-awaited events of the year on a high, after taking a significant step forward. The work in the heart of the Repsol Honda Team have allowed him to finish two races on the podium and rank third in the World Championship standings after three races. Aware of the difficulties that the demanding Mugello circuit always presents, Dovizioso will have the support of the crowd, extra motivation for the Italian rider who will be able to feel the warmth of his fellow-Italians on the track.

For his team-mate, Dani Pedrosa, the Italian race is an opportunity to make up for lost ground two weeks ago in France. Gradually advancing, the Repsol rider knows that a job well done will allow him to be among the fastest and fight for a place of honour. After a season start, which already looked difficult during the pre-season, the Repsol rider arrives at one of the most physically demanding tracks of the championship highly motivated and fighting fit.

In 125cc, Marc Márquez will once again be the centre of attention. Without having completely recovered, the Repsol rider has conscientiously prepared himself to reach Mugello as fit as possible. If the podium in France was just reward for his tenacity and capacity for sacrifice, the Italian race will be a new test in which Márquez will seek to continue advancing in the World Championship. Fifth last season, his adaptation to the Derbi RSA and another season of experience behind his back allow him to tackle this new race with a higher guarantee of success, in a year in which the Repsol rider appears in every sweepstake.
