Some ask for a sheep to be drawn for them, but others have asked Valentino Rossi in order to materialize on the whiteboard with the black pencil an idea of your ideal circuit. An original initiative of La Gazzetta dello Sport which gave birth to a 5,780 km route made up of demanding passages taken on the most selective sites on the MotoGP calendar.
We start with a scent of Catalonia and three curves which take us into Italy for a Mugello which will host the sixth round of the Grand Prix calendar this weekend. On the menu, the passages of Casanova-Savelli and the two Arrabiatas, blind turns. But when we have regained our sight we will be in Australia, on the side of Phillip Island and its left turn after Siberia.
From there, we are propelled to Assen with the part of the old route which made the site a cathedral, since transformed into a simple chapel. A pilgrimage which will extend to Japan with the Motegi and its two turns after the tunnel. We finish with a zest of Misano and its curve taken in sixth gear at 280 km/h.
Overall, a demanding circuit, hilly, with old-fashioned difficulties. We expected no less from the Doctor who specified that a time of 1'55.4 would be perfect!
