SMC Motorcycle School, the project
Passion, fun, method, safety: these are the ingredients that have always characterized the SMC Scuola Motociclismo, born in 2015 thanks to the collaboration with MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo and his father Chico with the aim of becoming a place of aggregation and growth for all motorsport enthusiasts.
A constantly evolving project that has seen champions such as Jorge Martin, Joan Mir and Tony Arbolino train on the track and that in these nine years has given rise to as many as 5 locations in Italy – Como, Vignate (Milan), Orte (Viterbo), Bari and Agrigento – with the participation of nearly 20 thousand students. Numbers destined to grow, if we consider that in the coming months è another 3 new schools are scheduled to open in Turin, Sondrio and Padua.
SMC Scuola Motociclismo welcomes students of all agesà and motorcycling levels: from the nursery of very young riders who cultivate the dream of professionalism (“pilotini” who run the Italian Velocità Junior Championship), to road bikers who want to increase their level of road safety, up to professionals (or amateurs) who want to improve technique and style to perform on the track. In SMC s’teach the most modern riding techniques with an established and easy-to-learn training method for everyone, through the use of «small-wheel» motorcycles, minimotos for children and pit bikes for adults.
A personalized growth path is defined for each student based on the goals they wish to achieve, in a professional yet familiar setting, where safety, method and technique are the foundations on which SMC Instructors work every day. After assessing the theoretical level of knowledge of a motorcycle and its safety equipment, each student è called to undergo a series of exercises to determine his or her riding level (4 levels: yellow – beginner, green – intermediate, blue – expert, black – racer), and define the development path, also in relation to his or her expectations.
The strength of SMC Scuola Motociclismo è the method (intended for asphalt motorcycling), designed to support students to ride safely and consciously, putting into practice some precise rules: learning about the motorcycle and its controls, the correct posture to keep on it and the movements to be made with every part of the body and in all phases of riding. The courses are held in facilities closed to traffic and involve the performance of specific exercises, in limited spaces and at contained speeds, where technique is trained. Repetition of these exercises helps generate automatisms and improve practice: s’learn on small bikes and replicate on large bikes, adapting the appropriate precautions of the road or track. All with the supervision of Instructors, the real added value of SMC. Motorcycle enthusiasts with backgrounds in local and national competitions, the instructors are certified by the Italian Motorcycle Federation (FMI) and live in close contact with the student in all moments of the lesson: briefing, warm-up, performance of exercises on the bike, evaluation and feedback in real time.
SMC Scuola Motociclismo offers everyone the opportunity to approach motorsport at low cost, with a variety of courses aimed at meeting the needs of the individual rider. The first step for all those who want to start a path in SMC è the first trial lesson at a cost of 120 euros (including no. 2 hours of lessons with motorcycles and instructors, rental of the safety kit – overalls with protections, helmet and gloves – and annual membership), scalable in case you then want to follow up the experience by purchasing a package of lessons, choosing from different types, from a minimum of 8 hours (4 lessons) to a maximum of 30 hours (15 lessons in total).

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.
