Come join us at the Santa Monica racetrack in Misano for a week of motorcycling like none you have ever experienced. Come walk the paddock in the shadows of giants: from past greats like Marco Lucchinelli and Giancarlo Falappa to current titans like Troy Bayliss, Loris Capirossi, James Toseland and Regis Laconi. You’ll also have a chance to interact with some of the movers and shakers at Ducati, from CEO Federico Minoli to Design Chief Pierre Terblanche, from Ducati Corse CEO Claudio Domenicali to Chief of Motorcycle Testing Andrea Forni. They’ll all be on hand the whole week to chat and sign autographs.

At this year’s WDW, we’ll be holding both the official MotoGP and World Superbike team presentations. Watch our spectacular official team launches for 2004 with the international motorcycling press corps, as well as a presentation of some of the greatest names of Ducati’s glorious racing past. The official racers will also light the place up with blazing fast laps on the track.

Racing fans will also be able to take courses at Ducati University with various racing pros, including briefings by Ducati Corse on the technical and tactical challenges involved in racing and winning on the world stage, by Ducati Design on what goes into creating the world’s most beautiful bikes, and our racers on the tricks and secrets of riding the Misano track, curve by curve, downshift by downshift. 100 lucky winners of the ticket raffle will eat dinner with our official racers, while winners of the Riders for Health Auction will get a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to ride pillion on the warp-speed fast Ducati Desmosedici.
