Francesco Bagnaia triumphed in the 100 KM dei Campioni on the new Desmo450 MX.

Pecco Bagnaia, paired with Augusto Fernández, won the eleventh edition of the “100KM dei Campioni” aboard a modified version of the Ducati Desmo450 MX, marking its official racing debut on the VR46 Ranch track in Tavullia.

This race is one of the most highly anticipated events of the winter season. Each year, it brings together riders from MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, and SBK, as well as off-road specialists from motocross, enduro, and supermotard, closing the season in an informal yet highly competitive atmosphere.

The Desmo450 MX proved to be a solid base for flat track racing. With few modifications needed for competition, it demonstrated a versatility that made it immediately competitive.

This victory at the Tavullia Ranch represents a significant milestone for the Ducati Off-Road project. In 2026, the programme will expand to include the MXGP World Championship, as well as MX2 and Supercross.
