Capo use to organize several vans from the UK with Max (pomp) with riders and bikes for the last 3/4 WDW's? Unfortunately he passed away last year. Might be worth messaging Max to see if transport is being organized for next year. If you prefer to ride down, it's worth the time just to go over the Alps and passed the Italian lakes.

I’ll wait and see what travel looks like in the spring but probably, I’ve been to all of them since 2010…

Great that its on but I fear they will restrict it to a point that will be way too fun sapping, the event will end up a shadow of what it should be, hope I'm wrong but not going to bother all the same

Wouldn't it be great if half the normal crowd stayed home? It has been too crowded IMO.
Since my Geoff-organized debut in 2010, I've been in the mountains and/or Bologna/Tuscany and/or attending WSBK and/or WDW every year. I even managed to ride slalom between open/closed/open countries in '20 and '21. So, I'm going to be in Italy around that time anyway. I'm getting a ticket. Just to be able to book the free 20 min track session. It's usually around £80. Half that for DOC clubs? I will also book a hotel, but only if they accept cancelation. However: We/you/they don't have enough pandemic 'control' to gather many tenths of thousands. The Italians are sad amateurs with regards to logistics to begin with. Asking them to manage a full scale WDW and all the extra pandemic crowd control In a couple of months Ducati will have to push the button. Yes/no. From there they can't go back/get out of contracts. If they at that point don't have enough early ticket sales, positive feedback from clubs AND enough hotel bookings.... I fear they're canceling. "All you have to fear, is fear itself"? We'll see.... |

Slob and bunch... any news about WDW?
Tickets would normally be on sale by now? (EDIT: my mistake, usually a couple of months later) Last edited by stopintime; 14-05-2022 at 11:17 AM.. |

I’m afraid I don’t know Lars, sadly it’s looking increasingly unlikely for me.

Not me this time
I'm not going this time. There was just too much uncertainty about the Coronaphobia panicdemic bureaucratic requirements for me to want to plan a trip. As I tend to make a full European bike tour going through lots of countries (record 4 in one day on 2016's Europe by cake WDW trip,UK, France, Belgium & Luxembourg on the 1st day) I didn't want to risk one country scuppering my plans with unbearable test requirements, mask rules, insistence on installing Covid phone apps, paperwork or even last minute lockdowns etc. I'd normally start planning in January. As it is Italy is not planning to ditch insistence on FFP2 masks on public transport & some indoor places until 15 June.
Hopefully by 2024 the world will have returned to a degree of sanity and less Coronaphobia jitteriness so planning a proper trip will be possible. |

However - once planned and prepared it wasn't problematic at all to do Europe in 2020 and 2021 on a bike. I make plans and book ferry Oslo/Kiel, train through Germany and hotels in January. With good cancelation policies. No worries. Maybe I'll see some of you next year |

I've been in the Alps (plus a bit further south in Italy) every year since 2010 - including both Corona years. I've become familiar with most aspects of travelling on a bike in the snow, rain and back up to 42 degrees Celsius. The first time in 42 degrees, PLUS sun (effectively 55-60) we smiled and adapted. The second time I regretted it. Since then I simply try to avoid it. |
