The World Championship returns to Italy for the San Marino and Rimini Riviera GP. According to the Brembo technicians who work closely with all the MotoGP riders, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is a moderately demanding one for brakes.
On a scale of 1 to 5, it is rated 3 on the difficulty index because the lack of straight sections which are over 530 meters (579 yards) long makes it difficult to reach high speeds. The fact that there are only 3 braking sections per lap with deceleration of over 100 km/h (62 mph), only one of which exceeds 160 km/h (99.4 mph), demonstrates this.
