I usually go to the Mugello MotoGP at the end of May and have encountered snow / sleet in the Dolomites at that time - it's a bit early for good weather up there.

Col d'Isere will be closed as the French don't plow the road until the second week of June.

All passes around Andermatt were closed this year so I had to ride over the Simplon pass in low cloud / fog.

Yep, those pesky French don’t want anyone using their high passes early in the year but the Swiss seem to at least try to keep them open or re-open them as soon as possible after they’ve been cleared for the first time each year. I’ve been down to Mugello and found both the Grimsel and Simplon passes open though they were a bit streaky as snow melted higher up, ran over the road and froze overnight and on another occasion I tried to use the same route in early June and both were shut.

If they’re shut then the easiest answer is to do what the trucks do and use a tunnel, there’s plenty of choice but they’re not cheap.

Sounds good but not for me til I get a new hip! Sort of what we did this year

You may find May too early for some of the passes? Worth a thought. Come back up through the Black Forest rather than France. Be wary of trying to do too much and missing out on good stuff!
