Mugello is one of the loveliest and safest race tracks in the world. Full of ups and downs that make it quite fast, it is very technical: ideal for showing off the driving skills of the riders along the five thousand metres that run between the woods and green Tuscan hills, thrilling spectators. Hilterapia, with  the aid of a virtual lap by an expert rider, tackles every bend to show the body position and the strains to which, in particular, arms and legs are subjected.

The long straight stretch at the start is already a great temptation: ready, steady, go, up through four gears, throttle wide open and off cresting the hill which, on the first lap, can be handled without problems because the strain on your arms is not yet noticeable.  San Donato, the first bend, is ‘a well-defined right-hander’ that permits ‘sharp’ braking, that is also testing for your forearms and quadriceps which must be kept constantly in shape. Two S-bends on a slight rise force your legs, adductors in particular, to work really hard due to sudden shifts on the saddle to move the bike from one side to the other. After a slight crest taking you to the Casanova-Savelli bend, where there is a difficult change in the gradient, the Casanova bend makes you ‘stretch’ your neck to look for the point that allows you to tackle the bend or perhaps try to overtake another rider to gain valuable seconds. Then, flat out towards the first Arrabbiata bend, another ‘right-hander’ with a reverse gradient which presses down your kidneys, literally flattening them against the saddle while your eyes are already on the climb towards the second Arrabbiata bend.

Then there is the half-way mark which coincides with the most fun part when the bike seems to be chafing at the bit and about to take off at any moment. The downhill stretch towards Scarperia begins: a change of direction to be made in second gear easing off around the bend (Palagio bend) then speeding up towards the Correntaio, a right-hand bend that forces you to keep leaning over for endless seconds while holding your right knee so tightly bent that, when you straighten up, your muscles produce lactic acid. But there is no time to ‘feel’ the pain: holding your breath, because the bike is vibrating so violently due to the speed, you ride flat out into the final stretch slowing for the Bucine bend. With your body flattened, literally parallel to the ground, you leave the bend as fast as possible to avoid increasing any lag and go into the long finishing stretch.

And after so much adrenalin, you also begin to feel the weight of the suit: about 4.5 kg which protects you but also dehydrates you, leaving you without strength.

For professional riders, Hilterapia is the latest invention: the innovative method, sponsor and an integral part of the equipment of Mobile Clinic, the most famous ambulance in the world that accompanies riders to all the tracks where the MotoGP and SuperBike World Championship races are held.

For city bikers, for those who ride motorbikes or for those who suffer from osseous-tendon-muscular pains, Hilterapia can be found in over 180 specialised centres in Italy.

Stoner and his Desmosedici win at the Mugello and interrupt Valentino's reign at Tuscany Circuit. On second place, behind australian rider, Jorge Lorenzo, than Rossi. In 250 an epic battle between Pasini and Simoncelli with ten overtakings in the final lap. Bradley Smith is the winner in 125 class.
