The group journey

From Germany to Thailand, in a group

Riding with Werner Philipp and his group of friends for more than 12,500 km.
From Germany to Thailand along the Silk Road

The goal was ambitious: to cross Eurasia to the heart of Asia, along the legendary Silk Road. We passed through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey, then pushed through the mountains of Georgia and the vast spaces of Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Stage after stage, kilometer after kilometer, the landscape transformed along with the road: from perfect asphalt to endless dirt roads, to the endless potholes of the Pamirs. In Kyrgyzstan I said goodbye to the group and continued alone. In China and Tibet I tackled eight passes above 5,000 meters. But nothing took my breath away like the moment when, from Everest North Base Camp, I saw the world's highest peak silhouetted just a few kilometers away from me.

  

Crossing Laos, I arrived in Thailand after 56 days and 12,500 kilometers. An extreme, intense, unforgettable journey. Fundamental was the support I received from Ducati Service, in Germany at departure and in Thailand on arrival: concrete and valuable help that made this adventure possible.
