“We reached 160,000 attendees over the three-day race weekend — a 10% increase compared to last year,” reported Paolo Poli, CEO and Director of the Mugello Circuit, at the conclusion of the ninth round of the MotoGP World Championship.

“Mugello and MotoGP are in great shape. They generate visibility for Tuscany, and the figures prove it,” added Poli, expressing confidence in the future of the partnership with Dorna beyond 2026: “Ezpeleta has always been both a friend and a businessman. He knows very well the value that tradition and setting bring to the championship as a whole. These are key elements in our ongoing discussions to secure a new five-year agreement, following 35 years of collaboration.”

Standing alongside Poli — who was recently awarded the Fiorino d’Oro by the City of Florence — was Eugenio Giani, President of the Tuscany Region, who pledged full cooperation to help achieve this goal:

“We will soon open a formal discussion table, but we cannot afford to imagine a Mugello without the Italian GP. Days like these embody the pride of Tuscany — home to Italy’s finest circuit,” declared Giani after presenting awards to the top Moto3 riders.

Looking ahead, there is a shared commitment to improving traffic flow around the circuit.

“We’re working on upgrading route A107 to create a new exit. The Region is ready to contribute with sponsorships and funding to support this essential event and strengthen our relationship with Mugello and its director, Paolo Poli, whose constant efforts to promote the area bring over 200 event days to the region each year,” concluded Giani.
