MotoGP Team Gresini Experience | Weekend Itinerary

Every day of the MotoGP weekend inside the paddock follows a unique pace and schedule, dictated by the official calendar and the technical preparation that riders undergo to be at their best for Sunday’s race. Each MotoGp can reserve a big surprise and you can choose to attend all of them or just your favorite one, considering what you are looking for.

FRIDAY | Taste the Motorsport Adrenaline

Friday marks the first full day inside the MotoGP paddock, where riders get their first feel of the track in the morning during FP1, followed by the afternoon pre-qualifying sessions. These sessions determine the top 10 riders who will advance directly to Q2 on Saturday.

Friday is typically the calmest day in the paddock, but strategically, it can be one of the most crucial for riders. It sets the foundation for their race weekend, allowing them to fine-tune their setup and get the right feel for the bike—an increasingly vital factor in modern MotoGP.

It’s not just about MotoGP; Friday also features track time for the “minor” classes, starting in the morning before the MotoGP sessions. The day’s track schedule is as follows:

Track Schedule – Friday

The paddock comes to life early — our team will be in the Gresini hospitality area from 9:00 AM, but you’re free to enter earlier or later with your paddock pass. Take your time to explore the paddock, soak in the atmosphere, and observe the behind-the-scenes action.

Although traffic is generally not an issue on Fridays, it’s always a good idea to plan ahead. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at the Gresini Hospitality, with a reserved table and a team member managing guest rotations. Lunch is typically served between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.

While Friday lacks the intensity of the Sprint Race or Sunday’s Grand Prix, it offers motorsport fans the chance to get up close to the world’s fastest riders in a fascinating environment—at a lower cost and with some distinct advantages.

Fewer guests mean a less crowded paddock, providing better opportunities to visit the Gresini Team’s garage without rush. Riders also experience less pressure, as there are no races that day, increasing the chances of meeting them, getting autographs, and snapping unforgettable photos.

SATURDAY | Living the Heart of the MotoGP Experience

Saturday is undoubtedly the most dynamic and exhilarating day in the paddock and on the track.

The action kicks off early at 8:40 AM with Moto3’s FP2. We highly recommend arriving early and considering potential traffic when heading to the circuit. Breakfast in the hospitality area will be available from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

Unlike Friday, Saturday is packed with adrenaline-fueled moments—from FP2 to the crucial qualifying sessions and culminating in the Sprint Race in the afternoon. After the race, guests can unwind with snacks and an aperitif in the hospitality area, enjoying music and the lively paddock atmosphere.

Track Schedule – Saturday

A key highlight of Saturday is the Pit Lane Walk, available immediately after MotoGP qualifying. This exclusive experience allows fans to see the bikes up close outside the team garages and capture rare behind-the-scenes photos.

Saturday is the most electrifying day for MotoGP fans. The weekend takes a decisive turn with the qualifying sessions, and the first championship points are on the line. It’s the busiest and, according to many, the most enjoyable day in the paddock, with post-race entertainment extending into the afternoon.

SUNDAY | It’s Race Day!

Sunday is the pinnacle of the MotoGP weekend—the day when championship points are at stake, strategies come to life, and riders push their limits to claim victory.

Every racer lives for Sundays, where they battle for dominance on the asphalt and prove they are the best. The day is dedicated entirely to racing for all categories, starting with the MotoGP warm-up at 9:40 AM.

Given the scale of the event, traffic congestion is highly likely. We strongly advise all guests to leave early and plan their journey accordingly.

Track Schedule – Sunday

The schedule is straightforward—pure racing excitement. The only non-race event is the Pit Lane Walk, where teams showcase their bikes outside the garages, allowing fans to snap unforgettable pictures and getting closer to the Box.

Immediately after the race, teams will begin dismantling their paddock setups in preparation for the next Grand Prix. As a result, there won’t be much time to stay in the hospitality area after the MotoGP race (hospitality typically closes around 4:30 PM). However, you are free to roam the paddock a little longer or wait for your favorite riders to return from interviews.

Sunday is the ultimate day for motorsport enthusiasts. It’s when championships are decided, riders push their machines to the absolute limit, and the thrill of MotoGP reaches its peak. If you live for racing, Sunday is the day for you.

So, as you can see, each day has its own charm and can surprise you in different ways!
