I'm planning a trip down to Misano in Italy for next years GP with a few friends, this will by first time any tips/advice for riding in France/Italy/Switzerland would be gratefully recieved!!
I went down to Rome on the bike a couple of years ago. One piece of advise is, if you're intending on using B roads allow more time than you think, especially in Italy. I'm not far from you in Denmead if you fancy a meet-up sometime.
