MotoGP At Mugello
Driven to Ride - A podcast by Flint Rock LLC, Mark Long - Wednesdays

You're coming along with us to the Italian MotoGP race at the Mugello Circuit. The beauty of this legendary racetrack that's nestled in the heart of Tuscany is only eclipsed by the understatement of its motto during race weekend: "Al Mugello, non si dorme" - "At Mugello, you do not sleep." Equal parts motorcycle race, wild campground, and music festival, the Italian MotoGP brings out the most passionate race fans from all over Europe (and the world), armed with the loudest engines they can get a hold of; like chainsaws with the blades taken off, modified leaf blowers, or scooters with the mufflers removed. We talk to Friné Velilla, who's been responsible for handling all the media coverage with MotoGP for over fifteen years; "Fast" Freddie Spencer, who racked up a few race wins at Mugello, and my ex-pat best friend Mike Fischer, who had no idea what he was getting into. Nothing can prepare for you Mugello, but we give you a taste of what it's like to experience it firsthand.
