Training as Champions with the Desmo450 MX

The training bike chosen from MotoGP champions
Motocross and flat track: the riders' gym

Training on cross or flat track motorcycles is a common practice among MotoGP riders, and world champions Francesco and Marc are no exception. 

These disciplines allow them to sharpen technique, balance and control on various terrains and are the ones that come closest to the physical exertion required by a MotoGP race.

In addition, many riders began their careers with motocross itself, making it a natural and complete training for those racing at the highest level.
