Home race for Aprilia Racing in Mugello. Seventh round of the season for Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin at the GP of Italy.

Aprilia Racing is gearing up to experience a special weekend at the Mugello Circuit on the seventh round of the season. This will be a home race for the manufacturer from Noale, and one of the most eagerly awaited events in front of their Italian fans.

Marco Bezzecchi is headed to Mugello as championship leader with the goal of continuing the positive trend set thus far and confirming his position at the top in front of his home fans. Jorge Martín, on the other hand, will arrive at the GP of Italy determined to leave his two zeroes from the Barcelona weekend behind, and to get back into the battle for the top spots.

The Grand Prix of Italy at the Mugello Circuit is the celebration par excellence for Italian fans, as well as Aprilia Racing’s home race. It is one of the most spectacular tracks in the FIM Grand Prix World Championship with its 5245 metres of fantastic curves which have made it a unique track anywhere in the world.

Marco Bezzecchi: “I am extremely happy to be going to Mugello. It will be fantastic to race in front of all our fans, and we’re highly motivated to do well. We’ll be giving it one hundred percent and working hard to achieve the absolute best possible result.”

Jorge Martin: “I’m recovering well after the various crashes in Montmeló, and I hope to be at 100%, although I still don’t feel completely better. The most important thing is to continue being fast. Finishing the races will also be fundamental, both to earn points and to build confidence. In any case, we are doing an excellent job, and we need to continue down this path.”

Honda HRC Castrol mount up for Mugello.

Fuelled further by the highs and lows of the previous round, Luca Marini and Joan Mir arrive at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello with ever-improving targets and an insatiable hunger for more.

One of the most iconic and instantly recognisable circuits on the MotoGP World Championship calendar, the Italian GP in Mugello is a giant amongst the classics. Having been a permanent fixture on the calendar since 1991, the Tuscan hills it is nestled amongst create a fast and flowing layout, pushing rider and machines to the limit – a true test of top speed, the run into Turn 1 is an infamous sight on race day.

The 2026 edition of the Italian GP will be just Luca Marini’s second time racing there as a factory Honda rider having missed the 2025 race due to injury. A bruising Catalan GP saw the Italian leave Barcelona with more points in the bag and maintain his lead as the top Honda rider in the World Championship standings with 43 points – just four shy of Aldeguer and the top ten overall. Excited to race again in front of the home fans, the #10 must conquer Friday’s crucial afternoon session to secure his spot in Q2 and avoid the unlucky situations which tense Q1 sessions can create.

Crossing the line in second place last time out in Barcelona, Joan Mir arrives in Italy brimming with confidence after being able to convert his undeniable speed into a race result. The 2020 MotoGP World Champion is under no illusion that recreating this performance in Mugello is by no means guaranteed, but he and his team are aiming to use their learnings to maximise their chances. No matter what, it’s a guarantee that Mir will give his all when the lights go out on Sunday.

Luca Marini: “Unfortunately last year I was only in Mugello as a spectator, so I am really looking forward to it this year. It’s a really special race for any rider, and as an Italian you enjoy the weekend a lot with the fans – it’s one of those really iconic races on the calendar. As Honda, we arrive to Italy in a good way after a strong weekend and a positive Monday Test so I want to hit the ground running. Like always, Friday afternoon might be the most important session of the weekend. A lot to do, a lot of potential to show.”

Joan Mir: “We arrive in Italy with great motivation and confidence. Our weekend in Barcelona ended in a strong way and I want to carry that into the Mugello weekend. It’s a track which isn’t amongst our strongest, but usually the Honda has some struggles in Barcelona so I think we can be a bit optimistic. Of course we need to put everything together, lap by lap, day by day and see the situation of the weekend but I am confident in my speed. As we saw in several of the past weekends, a strong grid position can make all the difference for us.”

Between an “Amarcord” Atmosphere and 100 Years to Celebrate: Marc and Pecco both on track at the Italian GP.

Adrenaline, passion, and the embrace of all Ducatisti for the Italian GP, which was held for the first time at Mugello 50 years ago (1976). A special weekend with the confirmation that Marc Márquez will be on track alongside Francesco Bagnaia riding the Desmosedici GP. A weekend with an amarcord feel and many events for celebrating the 100th anniversary of Ducati. Among these, there will be also the presentation of the special livery—at the circuit on Thursday late afternoon—with which Marc and Pecco will race in the Sunday’s GP.

The Tuscan track is one where the “Red” from Borgo Panigale has triumphed a total of eight times, including the last 4 editions. In 2009, Stoner was the first, followed by Dovizioso in 2017, Lorenzo in 2018, and Petrucci in 2019. From ’22 to ’24 three triumphs for Pecco, and Marc closes the roll of honor with his success in 2025.

Marc will return to racing after the double surgery—on his right shoulder and right foot—which he underwent in Madrid following the crash at the French GP. Still in the phase of full recovery, Marc will be on track to test his actual physical condition and for the usual “fit to race” medical check on Thursday.

Positive feelings for Pecco as well, after his first podium of the season in Barcelona. The special atmosphere and the affection of all his fans will provide further motivation to confirm his place among the fastest riders.

Francesco Bagnaia #63 Ducati Lenovo Team: “The Italian GP at Mugello is always a special moment of the season. There isn’t much to say about the track, it’s one of the most beautiful on the calendar, one of those where going fast truly gives you that little something extra. Then there’s the support and affection of the fans, an incredible energy. I’m ready and we keep working hard with the whole Team. I can’t wait to get on track: the podium in Barcelona, post-race, was a peculiar feeling, but it was needed for all the crew, especially after a day like the last Sunday with so many incidents”.

Marc Márquez #93 Ducati Lenovo Team: “The recovery is progressing as planned, I’ve gone back to training normally over the last few days and I will be on track mainly to test my actual feelings and physical condition aboard the Desmosedici GP. Both surgeries went well, but we are proceeding with all due caution and with the final medical checks at the track. Mugello is an incredible track, to be honest also a very demanding one, but the support of all the Ducatisti will be an extra motivational booster to do well”.

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Anticipate Lively Home GP at Mugello.

The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team look forward to starting the racing action in the flowing hills of Tuscany, Italy for Round 7 of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship. The Grand Prix of Italy holds special significance for the team, as it’s Yamaha Motor Racing’s home GP.

The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team have travelled to the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello for Round 7 of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship. As they consider the Grand Prix of Italy their home GP, it’s a race weekend that the staff of Yamaha Motor Racing and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP and the riders always look forward to.

Fabio Quartararo has great memories of racing at the Mugello circuit with Yamaha thanks to his brilliant win at the Italian GP in 2021 and his strong second place in 2022. Following a successful but short Barcelona Test held a little more than a week ago, the Frenchman is hoping to continue the point-scoring momentum he’s got going on since the French GP and climb up from 13th in the standings.

After the shortened Barcelona test, Álex Rins is looking forward to making moves at the Mugello circuit this weekend. The Spaniard frequented the Italian GP rostrum in the lower classes. In Moto3 he earned a second and a third place in 2013 and 2014 respectively. This weekend, he aims to score solid points again, as he has done at the previous two rounds, and improve on his current 19th position in the championship standings.

Mugello is considered one of the most beautiful tracks on the calendar, thanks to its mixture of uphill and downhill sections and a variety of fast and slow turns. The 5.25km-long Tuscan circuit hosted its first MotoGP event back in 1976 and became a permanent fixture in 1991. The Italian GP is famous for its great atmosphere and is said to be a ‘must-be-at event’ for motorcycle fans.

Fabio Quartararo: “Mugello is always a special round. It’s a track that’s really beautiful and versatile, and I’ve had some great moments here in the past. We’ve made steps in Le Mans, done good work in Barcelona, and we’ve been getting some nice results – but we know the longest straight and the consequent slipstreaming in Mugello will make things tricky this week. Let’s see what we can do. As always, I will do my best to get the best results possible.”

Alex Rins: “I always enjoy coming to Mugello: it’s a really nice track with a great flow, and I’ve had good results here before. After the shortened Barcelona Test, we have a few more ideas to try, so this weekend is about continuing to build onto the work done at the previous rounds and try to make progress. We know that Mugello – on paper – is not the strongest track for us, so let’s see what we can do.”

Massimo Meregalli: “Mugello is always one of the highlights of the championship calendar, and it’s a pleasure to race here. It’s relatively close to our headquarters, so we can consider this a home race. Mugello is known to have fast and flowing characteristics, which should suit us, but its long main straight is one of the fastest of the season, which can present a challenge. However, from Le Mans on we have an upwards trajectory, and we have seen some encouraging improvements. Our goal is to continue building on that progress this weekend. We know it will not be easy, but securing a direct place in Q2 as we have done in the previous two rounds will be very important. So that’s the target for the Friday and then we will go from there.”

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Ready for Mugello‘s Iconic Challenge.

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP heads to Mugello for one of the most historic and spectacular events on the MotoGP calendar. Encouraged by the progress shown in recent races and tests, the team arrives in Tuscany motivated to continue its development while fully aware of the challenge posed by Mugello‘s ultra-fast layout and legendary main straight.

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP arrives at Mugello for the Italian Grand Prix, one of the most iconic events of the MotoGP World Championship. Part of the calendar since 1976 and a permanent venue since 1991, the Tuscan circuit is renowned for its unique atmosphere, breathtaking scenery and the passion of the fans who fill the hills surrounding the track throughout the entire weekend.

The 5.245 km layout is considered one of the most spectacular and technically demanding circuits in MotoGP, combining high-speed direction changes, flowing corners and one of the longest straights in world championship racing, where MotoGP bikes can exceed 360 km/h. Corners such as Arrabbiata 1 and 2 have become legendary for both riders and fans.

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP heads into the weekend encouraged by the progress shown in recent races and tests, particularly regarding chassis behaviour and corner speed. At the same time, the team is fully aware that Mugello‘s ultra-fast nature and long straight are likely to favour some of the more powerful bikes on the grid, making this another important benchmark in the development process.

For many members of the team, the Mugello round carries special meaning, with the vast majority of the team personnel being Italian and deeply connected to the passion and atmosphere that make this event so unique. The upcoming races are also expected to feature layouts better suited to the Yamaha’s handling characteristics, giving further motivation ahead of an important phase of the season.

Jack Miller: “I’m looking forward to starting another back-to-back race sequence and, most importantly, kicking it off in Italy. For many people inside the team this is a very special Grand Prix and one everyone looks forward to throughout the season.
We come into the weekend after what I believe was a positive test in Barcelona. We know Mugello will expose some of our current weaknesses, especially with such a long straight, but at the same time we made some encouraging progress there, particularly with the turning characteristics of the bike.
Hopefully those improvements can help us across the rest of the lap and allow us to keep building momentum. It’s always fantastic racing in front of the Italian fans and I‘m excited to get the weekend started.”

Toprak Razgatlioglu: “For me this is a completely new challenge because it will be my first time riding a 1000cc bike at Mugello. The last time I raced here was twelve years ago in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, so in many ways it almost feels like discovering the track again from the beginning.
Back then I was not really comfortable with the smaller bike and with such a fast circuit, but now it is different with a MotoGP machine. Riding a MotoGP bike here is something special and I‘m very happy and excited for the experience.
We will see how the weekend develops. I know Mugello is a very demanding track and another important learning step for me, but as always I will try to do my best and continue improving session after session.”

Australian Superbike Championship Heads to Morgan Park

Australian Superbike Championship Heads to Morgan Park

Round four of the 2026 Penrite Australian Superbike Championship presented by Pirelli (ASBK) will be held at Morgan Park Raceway from May 29-31, in what will be a decisive battleground for a whole host of contenders.

Morgan Park is the second last round on the 2026 calendar, with the tight and twisty layout traditionally a happy hunting ground for some and a more demanding and technical challenge for others.

The polarising flavour only heightens the anticipation ahead of this weekend, particularly in the SW-Motech Superbike class where Harrison Voight (McMartin Racing Ducati) leads teammate and defending champion Josh Waters by 11pts, with Jacob Roulstone (Motocity Honda) a further 12pts adrift in third.

But the pecking order could all be turned on its head in the blink of an eye, with Voight under additional pressure in his first Superbike appearance at Morgan Park, while Waters finally shook off the ‘bogey track’ tag in 2025 with his first win at the circuit.

And then there’s the gigantic spectre of Morgan Park master Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team), as well as Cameron Dunker (Blue Marlin Pools Racing Yamaha), Cru Halliday (Stop and Seal Ducati), Glenn Allerton (Superbike Advocates Racing Ducati), Jonathan Nahlous (Yamaha Racing Team) and Anthony West (DesmoSport Ducati).

The Kawasaki Supersport/Supersport Next Gen, Race and Road Supersport 300, BLU CRU R3 Cup and BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup also continue in Queensland, while Superbike Masters will be making its first appearance under the 2026 ASBK umbrella.

A total of 16 races will be contested over the weekend, as well as theatrics thanks to TJ Stuntz, ASBK pillion rides on Saturday, a huge paddock show on Sunday, and lots to see and do at ASBK Trade Alley.

Round four of the Australian Superbike Championship is supported by the S outhern Downs Regional Council.

SW-Motech Superbike

There is a maximum of 102pts up for grabs in the final two rounds of the 2026 SW-Motech Superbike championship, so aspirations still run deep. But for those sitting mid-pack, it’s crunch time at Morgan Park.

The absence of Roulstone, who is remaining overseas for European Moto2 commitments – he went 7-7 in round one at Catalunya last weekend – removes one level of resistance, but for the likes of Dunker, Halliday, Allerton and Nahlous they’ll have to really start putting the squeeze on Voight and Waters.

But the biggest shape-shifter of all could be Jones. The 32-year-old’s been below his best so far this year, but his resurgence could come at a circuit where he has finished on the podium in nine of the last 10 Superbike races. And it almost definitely would have been a perfect record if he didn’t retire from race one in 2025 with a mechanical issue.

It’s a sustained run of brilliance that places him as warm favourite on the sweet-handling Yamaha – and then we all know he’s extremely hard to conquer at Queensland Raceway as well. Championship success in 2026 may be a bridge too far for Jones, but he can certainly have a major bearing on the final standings.

Also, look out for reigning Superbike No. 3 West, who sat out The Bend races after injuring his right hand in a qualifying crash. West finished on the 2025 podium at Morgan Park in race one behind Waters and Broc Pearson.

Jack Favelle (Addicted to Track Yamaha), Marcus Hamod (Motocity Honda), John Lytras (Yamaha) and Ty Lynch (AMR Motorsports Yamaha) will also be pushing hard at Morgan Park in the two 16-lap races.

Kawasaki Supersport and Supersport Next Gen

The Kawasaki Supersport and Supersport Next Gen classes have produced intense racing all season, with the machines – and riders – evenly matched.

Thanks to its tight nature, Morgan Park could take the fireworks to another level – with late braking and a healthy dose of brawn thrown in.

Livewire Jake Farnsworth (Yamaha) has really hit his straps in the Supersport class and has become a regular visitor to the top step of the podium.

But with one non-start to his name – way back in round one at Phillip Island – it’s tight at the top of the standings with boom rookie Valentino Knezovic (Addicted to Track Yamaha) just 2pts behind, with Josh Soderland (Yamaha) a further 31pts in arrears.

Not one rider in the Supersport field has ever won at Morgan Park, so history will be made on Sunday.

In the Next Gen class, BCperformance Kawasaki duo Hayden Nelson (146pts) – who’s lightning fast around Morgan Park – and Tom Edwards (142pts) lead the way from Olly Simpson (DesmoSport Ducati, 108pts) and Tom Toparis (Stop and Seal Ducati, 96pts).

A combination of non-starts and non-finishes have been costly for Simpson and Toparis, which the Kawasaki duo has taken full advantage of.

Race and Road Supersport 300/BLU CRU R3 Cup

The Race and Road Supersport 300 season is becoming a case of who can maintain the greatest level of consistency.

After three rounds and eight races, every rider in the top 10 except championship leader Tyler King (Kawasaki) has at least one hard-luck story. But that’s the nature of such a fiercely contested class.

King has an imposing 27pt (149 to 122) lead over Riley Nauta (Champions Ride Days Kawasaki), who won twice at The Bend to vault up the standings.

Nauta’s teammate Orlando Peovitis and Tara Morrison (Kawasaki) are tied in equal third on 121pts.

Just like The Bend, where Matthew Ritter (Yamaha) won his first race, Morgan Park could also spring an upset or two where stealth, cunning and corner speed will be all-important.

Meanwhile, it’s round two for the BLU CU R3 Cup, where the racing is as frantic as Supersport 300. Oscar Lewis leads his younger brother Connor by only 2pts, with Jordy Simpson third.

BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup

The BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup’s appetite for extremely close and competitive racing continues unabated in 2026, with the kids competing like there’s a chequered flag at every corner!

The fleet of diminutive Yamaha YZF-R15s will appreciate Morgan Park’s smaller confines, with jockeying for positions expected to continue until the final milliseconds.

Thomas Cameron leads the way from Callum Campbell and Austin Attard, with class rookie Patrick Lucchitti fourth in the official Australian Junior Road Racing Championship.

Expressions of interest are now open for the 2027 OJC Championship, open to riders 11-U16. For more information and to apply for the 2027 grid (starting November 2026), click here.

Registrations close on July 24, 2026.

Superbike Masters

The popular historic motorcycle racing category returns, open to Period 6 (1983-1990) and – for the first time – Period 7 (1991-1999) machines.

The outright winner of the series will again be awarded the ‘Darren Lark Superbike Masters Cup Perpetual Trophy’ in honour of the late Darren Lark who was a tireless champion of the class and the characters who race them.

The Superbike Masters battle lines at Morgan Park will be drawn over three six-lap races, with the Period 6 Yamaha FZR1000 of Jack Passfield expected to loom large after a blistering performance at the 2025 Australian Historic Road Race Championship.

AFM: New Format Gains Traction Heading Into Round 2

AFM’s New Weekend Format Gains Momentum Heading Into Round Two

By Clive Savacool

The American Federation of Motorcyclists is heading into the second round of its 2026 season with momentum after a successful opening weekend at Thunderhill Raceway Park. With increased attendance at the first round, strong spectator interest in the new exhibition events, and several format changes aimed at improving the overall racer experience, the AFM is hoping to continue building energy heading into this coming weekend.

Anyone who has been around club racing over the last decade has probably heard plenty about the “good old days” of packed grids and overflowing paddocks. While the reality of modern club racing has changed, the AFM has started the 2026 season experimenting with ways to evolve the race weekend format while still preserving the atmosphere and competition that built the club over the last seventy years.

One of the biggest changes this season is the revised race schedule format, with most classes now racing both Saturday and Sunday. The goal is to maximize track time and value for racers while also creating fuller race weekends for crews, families, and spectators attending the events. Instead of concentrating nearly all racing into a single day, the updated structure spreads the action across the full weekend and keeps the paddock active from Friday through Sunday afternoon.

The AFM is also continuing its plan to feature rotating exhibition races throughout the five-round season. The opening round at Thunderhill featured the club’s first ever Supermoto exhibition race, held on a modified 0.8-mile course built using sections of Thunderhill Raceway Park along with a specially constructed dirt section. The event quickly became one of the highlights of the weekend, with riders backing motorcycles into chicanes and transitioning onto dirt sections in front of packed fence lines of spectators.

That success helped reinforce the AFM’s broader goal of bringing variety and entertainment back into club racing weekends. Additional exhibition races planned throughout the season include a Super Hooligan race, an endurance race at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, and a Trackday Provider Instructor relay style race that will bring together instructors from several organizations in a fun team-based competition, fighting for bragging rights rather than points.

At the same time, 2026 also marks the official return of Sidecar racing to the AFM championship schedule. Unlike the exhibition races, Sidecars are now a full part of the five round championship series and have already brought a level of spectacle and curiosity back into the paddock that many racers had not experienced in years.

Heading into the second round of the year, the AFM is hoping to continue the increased level of attendance seen at the opening event. With a forecast of perfect weather, a New Racer School (NRS) scheduled for Friday practice, and reciprocal licenses accepted from organizations including the Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association (CVMA), California Roadracing Association (CRA), and Utah Superbike (UtahSBK), the club is anticipating another strong weekend of racing.

More than anything, the AFM’s 2026 season has focused on finding ways to make race weekends feel exciting again, not only for longtime racers, but also for newer riders entering the sport. Judging by the response to the opening round, the formula may already be working.

Saturdays qualifying sessions kicked off the day and lead into to a very special National Anthem presentation, sung by SLC based Vortex Racing’s own Kaleb Harris, leaving racers pumped to take their grid positions and get sprint racing Saturday underway. The first race of the day and season was the Ryder Gear Moto 2 Expert race where Parker Mayer and Kinzer Naylor kicked things off with an epic battle for the win.

Pulling design inspiration from road racing, the ARO GP Slip-On Exhaust features exhaust screens similar to those common with international road racing bikes. The new ARO GP Slip-On Exhaust elevates the dynamic voice of PowerPlus with a precision-tuned sound, highlighted by a deep, low-frequency exhaust note at idle and low RPM, before transitioning into a broad, high-output tone under acceleration and elevated engine speeds. The dual slip-on exhaust system amplifies both performance and emotion, delivering a commanding sound profile that embodies the racing heritage of Indian Motorcycle.

“Our all-new slip-on exhaust system is really special, as it represents the first in what we expect to be a long line of performance products we will develop,” said Kennedy. “I’ve been running a prototype on my own Indian Challenger since Daytona, and I can say wholeheartedly that it sounds absolutely amazing and truly elevates the experience of riding an Indian PowerPlus bagger.”

Beginning this weekend at MotoAmerican King of the Baggers at Road America, the Vance & Hines Factory Indian Motorcycle race team will be running an ARO two-into-one exhaust system developed exclusively for the factory racing program. The team goes into Road America with significant momentum, having won all four races and claiming 9 of 12 podium spots over the series’ first two rounds.

MotoGP: Preview of the Brembo Grand Prix of Italy

HOT HEADLINES: majestic Mugello ready for MotoGP. The most exciting sport on Earth touches down in Tuscany – with home heroes ready to battle for glory.

This week, we’re racing in a postcard. A quarter of the way through the season and we’re in the magical hills of Tuscany; MotoGP madness takes over Mugello as the Brembo Grand Prix of Italy brings us Round 7. Last year’s epic fights in the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix gave the fans a blockbuster and with an Italian leading the Championship, they’ll be cheering on their home heroes for more of the same in 2026.

BEZZECCHI IN CHARGE: Aprilia to bring the Mugello magic

For the first time since 2023, the top of the Championship standings belongs to Italy. Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) endured a tricky weekend last time in Barcelona but extended his Championship lead over teammate Jorge Martin from one point to 15. Never on a Grand Prix podium at Mugello, ‘Bez’ hopes that he change that stat whilst for Martin, he’s been on the Mugello podium in the last two GPs contested here but missed last year and turns up with Aprilia for the first time. 0 points scored in Catalonia despite big potential means the 2024 World Champion must strike back. Aprilia will also relish the chance to take on and defeat Ducati, here more than anywhere.

HEADING HOME ON A HIGH: ‘Diggia’ a winner, Acosta aims to hit back

Breaking up the Aprilia party at the front of the field, however, Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) arrives from the top step – his second win in MotoGP after his 2023 Qatar GP success, and he did it in front of the big boss. He was on the podium at Mugello in 2025. For rival Pedro Acosta Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) it’s instead enemy territory. ‘The Shark’ was on pole and 0.041s away from Sprint victory on Saturday in Barcelona and taken out a few hundred metres from home on Sunday – it wasn’t to be. Mugello offers a chance to get himself back in the game. Both riders are 26 and 50 points behind Bezzecchi respectively, after having been locked much closer together before Barcelona.

HEADLINE MAKERS: Ogura and Fernandez in the top six

The other Aprilias aren’t far away elsewhere in the standings with all four in the top six overall, led by Ai Ogura (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) in fifth place and followed by his teammate Raul Fernandez in sixth. Both had controversial Catalan GPs, with Fernandez clashing with Martin, whilst Ogura took out Acosta on the last lap at the last corner and was given a subsequent penalty. Both were in the top ten at Mugello last year, both want redemption and more this year.

CONTENDERS: 2025 victory chasers and home heroes

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) won at Mugello for three years straight between 2022 and 2024 but was only fourth at the flag in 2025. After his P3 in Barcelona – a first podium since his victory at Motegi last year – can he give the Tifosi the result they’re looking for? Nowhere else on the calendar will see him more fired up to do so. Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol), Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) and Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) all add to the home charge, with Marini tackling Mugello off the back of his best result of the year last time out with P6.

BEST IN BARCELONA: form critical for Aldeguer and Quartararo

Fermin Aldeguer’s (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) sudden P2 in Barcelona showed that whilst he’s not at full fitness, he’s still a force to be reckoned with. Was it a turning point before more of the same in Mugello? Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) came home fifth for his best result of 2026, a big boost; it was a tricky Italian GP in 2025 for the 2021 World Champion but back-to-back top six finishes bring encouragement. Teammate Alex Rins was 14th last weekend and got into the points at Mugello in 2025.

A joint-best Sunday finish of 2026 for Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) gives him Mugello motivation, whilst Diogo Moreira’s (Pro Honda LCR) Barcelona P9 was a personal best. P13 may be his best result of 2026 for Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) from last weekend but that doesn’t tell the full story, with the 2020 World Champion handed a tyre pressure penalty after taking P2 on track on Sunday in Barcelona – will his luck change in Italy?

BOUNCING BACK: heartbreaks, heroics and hunger

Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) was also a season-best P11 on his return to action and was in the top ten throughout Mugello’s 2025 weekend. Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) made it back-to-back points for the first time in 2026 whilst teammate Toprak Razgatlioglu tackles Mugello for the first time in MotoGP and seek a return to the points. They’ll add be looking to build up over the next back-to-back, starting in Mugello.

Finally, we know Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) and Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR) will be sidelined from Mugello, but we don’t yet know who might replace them. Stay tuned for that.

Meanwhile, we still await a definitive sign on whether we will see Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) back in action. After a crash on Saturday, the reigning Champion withdrew from Le Mans to undergo a procedure – already planned for after Barcelona – on his shoulder. Will he be back in action? We’ll find out soon. Tune in for the Brembo Grand Prix of Italy this weekend as MotoGP touches down in Tuscany!
