The 2025 MotoGP season’s ninth round will take place from June 20 to June 22 as the series travels to Italy for the first of two stops this year at the popular Mugello circuit.
The Italian Grand Prix at Mugello is favored by riders for its scenic setting and high-speed, flowing track layout.
Marc Marquez goes into the event leading the championship by 32 points after a flawless performance in the prior round at Aragon, where he dominated every session on his factory Ducati bike.
Although Marquez has not won at Mugello since 2014, his Ducati team-mate Pecco Bagnaia has been the standout rider at the circuit in recent years, with three consecutive victories.
Bagnaia showed improvement at Aragon and is looking to continue his success at Mugello, especially as he aims to close the 93-point gap to championship leader Marc Marquez.
Alex Marquez enters the round as the closest competitor to his older brother, holding second place in the standings.
