Not just four wheels
The first weekend of September will be one of the richest ever in terms of two- and four-wheel events: while Monza prepares for the Italian Grand Prix of Formula 1, with the United States also hosting the Lone Star Le Mans in the WEC (Austin) and the final IndyCar race of the season at Laguna Seca, in France the penultimate round of the Superbike will take place at the Magny-Cours circuit.

Eyes on Bulega
Almost two months after the last race held at Brands Hatch, where Ducati Aruba.it won the team title and the same Borgo Panigale manufacturer was crowned world champion, the chances of witnessing another world championship celebration on French soil are very high: Nicolò Bulega, now close to joining MotoGP in 2027, could seriously put the final word on the fight for the riders’ world championship after an almost entirely dominated season with an impressive series of victories.
Live broadcasts
We will have to wait a few more days to know the final results, with the weekend starting as always with the first free practice sessions scheduled for Friday on Sky Sport MotoGP. The same channel (208) will broadcast all other sessions, including those of the women’s Superbike championship, Supersport and Sportbike, with all Superbike races also available free-to-air on TV8, but only in delayed broadcast. Furthermore, due to the coincidence with the Italian GP of F1, Race 2 has been moved forward to 14:00, while there will be no schedule changes on Saturday afternoon.
