California's mini-Mugello

"When asked if there were any European tracks that reminded him of Sears Point, Hodgson elaborated, 'There's a couple. Like my favorite track is Mugello, believe it or not, one of the best in Italy. This is like a mini-Mugello, really. Mugello's got like a one kilometer straight, and obviously this place doesn't have a one kilometer straight, but it's the same sort of feeling, same sort of sensation.'" Superbike Planet
