Some useful information for the MotoGP race weekend in Riccione
The Misano MotoGP
Staying close to the 7 kilometres of beach that stretch down the Adriatic Coast make staying in Riccione and visiting the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli so unique. The restaurants along the front, or the shopping along the Viale Ceccarini, a pedestrian zone that connects the northern and southern parts of the city and all of this located just 30 minutes away from the race track at Misano. The locals are here to support their local rider, Valentino Rossi, as he heads into his final Italian race weekend.

IF THERE IS A DELAY OR SCHEDULE CHANGE TO QUALIFYING ON SATURDAY: the coach will leave the circuit 30 minutes after the Moto2 qualifying track action finishes (i.e. 30 minutes after the session has finished). If there is any extended or rolling delay without confirmed restart times that may affect the coach departure time, we will keep you updated via Veronica and Leo and via the email and phone number we have on your booking.
