2021 will be the 110th anniversary of the foundation of the Italian Motorcycle Federation and it will also mark the 30th anniversary of the Motogiro d’Italia, a re-evocation of the oldest and most prestigious Italian motorcycle test, first run in 1914. Organisers of the road rally for historic, and not so historic, bikes are keen to make it a truly memorable occasion. On offer for 2021 are some 1,700kms through the small roads of central Italy in six days with time-distance trials to determine the winners. There is also a tourist category for those who just want to ride without any element of competition. The event will run this year on 23-29 May. Entries are now open, but filling up fast. See motogiroitalia.it.
