Everything’s ready at Mugello Circuit for the first round of the 2025 Coppa Italia Velocità, scheduled for Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13.
The historic event, organized by the Italian Motorcycle Federation (FMI), returns to the track with over 250 riders expected for a weekend full of intense racing and pure adrenaline.
Coppa Italia continues to be a benchmark for Italian motorcycling, thanks to the wide variety of trophies on offer. This season-opening round will feature the Yamaha R3, the Pirelli 600 and 1000 trophies, the Dunlop 600 and 1000 trophies, the Trofeo Italiano Amatori (in the 600 and 1000Base classes), the RR Cup, and the IRC Cup. Special attention will be given to the new Aprilia 457 category, a major highlight of the year, making its official debut in the world of FMI competition.
The Aprilia 457 was created to offer real opportunities to young talents and rookie riders, with a lightweight, agile, and high-performing bike designed to keep costs low without sacrificing fun or competitiveness. The category has already drawn great interest from teams and riders and will be one to watch throughout the weekend.
Alongside the races, the 2025 season also continues with the training program dedicated to all riders. Under the expert guidance of FMI Coaches, participants will engage in specific activities throughout the weekend aimed at improving starting techniques. In addition to on-track monitoring, riders will also attend classroom briefings focused on increasing safety and enhancing riding skills.
Weekend schedule:
Saturday, April 12 will be fully dedicated to qualifying sessions, with two rounds per category. On-track activity will begin at 9:00 AM and continue until 6:10 PM. Each trophy will have time to fine-tune the last details in preparation for Sunday’s races.
Sunday, April 13 will be all about racing. Ten races are scheduled, each 10 laps long, starting at 9:50 AM. It will be the moment of truth for all riders, ready to battle it out on the spectacular Tuscan circuit.
