Arco de Trento, Saturday

4/9/2015 11:30am Edited Date/Time 4/12/2015 9:13am
As luck would have it I'll be in Milan next week on business, with Friday afternoon and Saturday open. Bummer that I depart on Sunday...

I just booked a room in Riva Del Garda on Friday so I plan on making the races on Saturday. What time do things get kicked off for Saturday races? It looks like it could be a mess with one road into the event, any advice on logistics would be appreciated!

Riva is about 20 minutes south from the track.
First free practice is probably EMX125 and starts around 9:30
I did not receive a time table yet but it's always the same schedule.

Smart thing to do is indeed get there early to avoid traffic.
No need to get tickets online, you'll be able to get them at the gate.

Driving from Milan to Riva is easy.
Just follow the highway east to Venice and turn north direction Trento.
Then you'll get into the Alps and will see the exit for Riva.

The track is near the town Pietramurata, about a mile from the town centre.

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday with my brother. But on Saturday we first have to drive 500km to the track, so I guess we won't be there before 12-13:00.
We are staying in Riva too.

I think it's because both EMX125 (95 riders) and EMX250 (100 riders) have two groups plus one EMX150 group. I think it's going to be really exciting event with record crowd, can't wait!

yes and they can't keep going to long cause the sun will go behing the mountain and it gets dark soon there.

Such a cool track.

It all makes sense now. RV isn't winning because he's taking in all the scenery while he's on the track! Damn, these last couple tracks are just absolutely beautiful settings.

So if you're going and never been there before you should be excited by now.

I know I'll be there. First time RV is racing a GP in Europe. Gonna be mad.
