The first practice session on Saturday saw Lorenzo and Pedrosa setting a blistering pace. Could Valentino match the pace? That was the question we were all debating. Then suddenly a gasp went around the Mugello circuit. Rossi has high sided and it looks a bad injury. The British fans were devastated. The Italians also, but within a very short period of time the Rossi fans just switched their allegiance to other Italian riders. The Mugello party was back on! That's the power of Mugello, it's much bigger than any rider. On Sunday Rossi spoke to the Mugello fans from his hospital bed. Then the lights went green and Dani blitzed everyone, setting new lap records lap after lap.
Our Mugello event was once again a sell out. To be honest it's no wonder that it's so popular. A brilliant hotel in the heart of fabulous Tuscany. Superb welcome reception party and a wonderful country park setting for our sumptuous Tuscan feast on Sunday. We have already taken many bookings for Mugello 2011. Every fan of motorcycle racing should do Mugello but it is only MotoExpress guests that do it in such style. For details of all MotoExpress events go http://www.motoexpress.co.uk
