1 · The short answer

MotoGP returns to the Adriatic coast on 10 to 12 September 2027 for the San Marino and Rimini Riviera round, held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Misano Adriatico. Despite the name, the circuit is in Italy, a short run down the coast from Rimini, and I read the ticket page with that in mind.

Ringo Light's Italy plan covers Misano, Rimini, Riccione and the whole Riviera with unlimited data at full speed. The Republic of San Marino is a separate country with its own plan, so I would add that one only if you plan to cross into it.

2 · Getting to Misano

Most visitors fly into Bologna or into the small airport at Rimini. Bologna is the bigger gateway with the longer list of routes, and from there the regional and fast trains run across the plain to the coast in roughly an hour and a half. Rimini's airport is only a few kilometres from the seafront, which makes it the simplest option when a flight lines up.

The Adriatic railway line runs along the coast, so Rimini and Riccione are the natural bases and both have a station. I would book a hotel near the line, which lets you reach the area without a car. On race days the circuit usually runs shuttle buses from the coast, and the organisers publish the stops and times closer to the date, so I would check the circuit's own pages before you travel. Taxis and cars get busy around the gates, and the roads back toward the sea fill up after the last race.

September on the Riviera is warm, often still beach weather, and the whole coast stays lively into the evening. Expect hotels to book up early for the weekend, and fans arriving by motorbike in numbers. I would save the return train and shuttle plan offline before heading to the circuit.

3 · Signal around the circuit

On race day the crowd around the track is large and everyone reaches for a phone at the same moment: at the start, after the chequered flag, and when the grandstands empty. Italian coverage is generally good, but a packed circuit is exactly where uploads, video and maps slow down.

Before leaving the hotel I would download the ticket, the circuit map and the shuttle or train times, and I would not count on Wi-Fi at the gates. A local data plan means you can message friends, call a taxi and check the return timetable while the queue is still forming.

4 · Apps, tickets and paying

  • ✓MotoGP app and website. Session times, results and the weekend schedule. Live video and timing need the official subscription.
  • ✓Tickets. Sold through the MotoGP ticket page, which lists grandstand and hospitality options for the round. Keep the e-ticket saved offline.
  • ✓Trains. Trenitalia sells regional and fast tickets in its app and at station machines. Validate paper tickets before boarding where required.
  • ✓Paying. Cards and phone payments are normal across the Riviera, from beach bars to hotels. Carry a little cash for small stalls and a few coins for parking or buses.

5 · What to do around the race

I read Rimini as the obvious base: a long sandy seafront, an old centre with Roman remains, and a busy evening scene in September. A day trip up to the Republic of San Marino, a hilltop state perched above the coast, makes a dramatic change from the beach, with its medieval towers and walls. Ravenna, up the coast, is known for its Byzantine mosaics and is an easy train ride from Rimini. If you cross into San Marino, I would remember that it uses its own plan, separate from Italy, though roaming rules and signal at the border can vary, so keep your Italy line active for the coast.
