Ducati is preparing for a historic debut in the MXGP World Championship with Tony Cairoli. The nine-time world champion will compete in the Netherlands on the Desmo450 MX, the motorbike that will take part in next year’s MXGP World Championship and go into production, marking the Borgo Panigale company’s entry into the off-road specialist segment. The Dutch Grand Prix, to be held on August 17th and 18th on the Arnhem track, is an important step in the development of the Borgo Panigale motorbike, with the aim of participating in the entire championship in 2025 and will be the first round of the World MXGP.

The development programme of the Borgo Panigale prototype will then continue August 31st and September 1st at Castiglione del Lago, in the fifth round of the Italian Championship, where Alessandro Lupino leads the general classification with two rounds to go after the brilliant results obtained in the last round of the Italian MX Championship at Ponte a Egola. In the Tuscan race Cairoli, on his return to competition, won the first heat and Alessandro Lupino, by winning the overall, took the lead in the championship, thus confirming the level of competitiveness already achieved by the Desmo450 MX.
