We are not out of the sand yet... From Italy, we are reminded that the health crisis remains ongoing and we will still have to wait a while before a return to normal. Or to a new normal, because the world before already seems only a vague memory, a vestige of times past. It remains that after the Grand Prix of France, Spain and Portugal it will be the turn of that of Italy to be held behind closed doors. Valentino Rossi is very sorry…
The press release is unambiguous… “ After a discussion with security institutions, the Mugello circuit announces that the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix, scheduled for May 28 to 30, 2021, will take place without the presence of spectators in the stands. The provisions relating to sporting events contained in DL 52 of 22.04.2021 will be respected in their entirety. With the extension to July 31 of the state of emergency decreed by the government, the protection of public health is a priority over all other evaluations. The event will therefore take place behind closed doors, according to the strict health protocols established by Dorna and the International Motorcycling Federation. »

It will therefore be without an audience and it is all the more damaging as important announcements are expected in Tuscany. Valentino Rossi commented on this situation: “Lhe Mugello is the place where the lack of fans will be felt the most. The track is like a natural stadium, perhaps only Jerez or Assen are like it. At Mugello you see the fans when you are on the track. It's a shame to race without fans this year. If I have good results, I hope to be there next yeare. » We must always maintain hope in MotoGP.
