Misano Adriatico
Motorcycle circuit
Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli lies near Rimini on the Adriatic coast and is one of Italy’s established motorcycle racing venues. WorldSBK describes a history spanning 32 rounds at the circuit. Its 4,226-metre lap combines heavy braking zones with faster sections: Quercia demands substantial deceleration, while Curvone emphasises speed and preparation for the corners that follow. This creates a more varied rhythm than a simple sequence of stop-and-go turns. For participants, access depends on the specific event. Ducati documented DRE Racetrack training with supplied Panigale motorcycles for experienced riders on 22–23 September 2026. Those dates have passed; they do not confirm a new course or open riding access.

Current clockwise Grand Prix circuit. The older configuration before the 2007 reversal ran anticlockwise. The official 4,226 m length is documented for today’s circuit, not asserted as the initial length of the 2007 rebuild.

The circuit is built near Misano Adriatico in 1972. Its later rebuilds matter when reading old results: the early motorcycle Grands Prix belong to a different configuration from today’s course.
Doug Polen wins both races from pole at Misano’s first WorldSBK meeting. The Ducati rider takes his first world title that season. These races use the earlier circuit.
Misano returns to the MotoGP calendar in 2007 after reconstruction. The former anticlockwise course gives way to today’s clockwise direction. Historic racing lines and lap times therefore cannot be transferred directly to this map.
The Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli name is unveiled on 9 June. Aldo Drudi’s design connects the venue with the late rider; the double L in his surname recalls the red stripes on his helmet.
Jonathan Rea attacks at the start of the final lap to earn his first WorldSBK victory. Michel Fabrizio finishes only 0.063 seconds behind; Noriyuki Haga is also within half a second. Race 2 ends in a close contest against the factory Ducatis.
Dani Pedrosa starts eighth and works his way through the MotoGP field. He finishes 2.837 seconds ahead of Valentino Rossi, with Jorge Lorenzo third. His comeback victory takes place on the modern circuit.
