Gran Premio Cinzano d'Italia 2001



This series of pictures was taken during a long weekend trip to watch the Gran Premio Cinzano d'Italia (The Mugello Motorcycle Grand Prix), held on 3 June 2001 at Mugello, near Firenze (Florence), Italy.

Watching the Grand Prix was only part of the adventure. In fact, we actually missed the 125cc race and due to the constant rain we left part way though the final, 500cc race. The trip to the race was via Pontresina and included crossing a number of recently opened Alpine passes. We stayed in Verona for two nights but unfortunately, due to our hunger and late arrival we didn't get to see much of the city.

The final pictures in the series were taken on the ferry crossing Lago de Como between Varenna and Menaggio.
