taly is a country of exaggeration. Mugello is a circuit of superla-
tives. But it is hard to exaggerate just how superlative this year's
Italian GP really was.
The day started with an extraordinary Moto3 race, the top 19 still
about as close on the last lap as they had been on the first.
Then a Moto2 race of rare virtue: not just because of increasingly
violent battling for the lead and a surprise Italian winner, but with
sustained excitement and variety for every championship point.
