Rossi set for Mugello circuit

Mugello:

Six-time world champion Valentino Rossi, heads to his home Grand Prix in Mugello, Italy for the fifth round of the MotoGP calendar. The Italian has a massive 37-point lead over Honda's Marco Melandri after winning three of this season's four championship races so far. The high speed Mugello circuit, nestled in the Tuscan hills near Florence, is one of Rossi's favourite tracks. The Yamaha rider won there the past three years although Spaniard Sete Gibernau could be his closest challenger after a slow start to the season. (AP)
