Six races on six dates on four different Italian race tracks, plus one other famous European circuit: it's a fantastic opportunity for a 100% Ducati racing experience. Experts will be on hand to help you perfect your riding style and make the appropriate tires choices, while a team of mechanics will be ready and waiting to suggest the best new technical solutions.
