I know nothing at all about MotoGP but am looking to buy my new bf a couple of tickets to see Valentino Rossi race at his home track in Mugello, Italy next year. Any idea when the new season dates are announced? Is this like the F1 when they have a practice day and then the race day? Is it worth buying tickets for the practice day too? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks 

Definitely get them booked as soon as you are able too. The race calendar is normally announced towards the end of the preceeding season, then tickets subsequently come available for each event. Camping at a MotoGP event is an experience for sure and saves any hassle getting in and out of the track each day. First practice is Friday morning, followed by an afternoon session for each of the 3 classes. Sat morning is another practice session followed by afternoon qualifying, then warm up and racing throughout Sunday.
