The union of the Ducati and Garage51 teams has given rise to the V2 Ducati Future Champ Academy<\/strong>, a project created with the mission of discovering young motorcycling talents and helping them grow<\/strong> through a single-brand trophy that features a multidisciplinary training programme that is unique in the world of racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garage51, which can count on ten-time Italian champion Michele Pirro<\/strong> as the project’s technical reference point, brings to the project its experience as promoter of the V4 Elite Cup and in providing technical support to riders and enthusiasts. Added to this is the experience gained by the Borgo Panigale manufacturer through 23 years of Ducati Riding Experience<\/a> programmes, in which it has developed specific know-how in training on specific topics related to track riding, thanks in part to a team of world-class instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young riders will find in the V2 Ducati Future Champ Academy a team that will help them grow both in riding technique and in the management of their competitive activities. The V2 Ducati Future Champ Academy<\/strong>, which will see 30 Panigale V2s on the track, is not just a single-brand trophy, but a formula created with the aim of finding and nurturing young riders (divided into the 16-21 and Over 21 categories), supporting them in their sporting careers thanks to a training programme<\/strong> that includes classroom lessons, pre-season testing and a race calendar consisting of national and international events in prestigious contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to professional technicians in the garage, young riders will be able to express their full potential, becoming faster, physically fitter, more experienced and skilled in tuning. The talented riders will be supported by highly experienced riders, such as Ducati MotoGP official test rider and ten-time Italian champion Michele Pirro, and three-time Italian Supersport champion and new CIV-Production Bike champion Davide Stirpe<\/strong>. They will be joined by physical training specialists and managers with extensive experience in the world of racing, who will also train them in communication with sponsors, teams and organisations<\/strong> to prepare them for a full professional career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the championship, the riders who show the most potential, based on their results and the instructors’ assessment, will take part in a test organised by Ducati on higher-level competition bikes to help them make the best choice for the next steps in their careers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series envisages participation in seven race weekends<\/strong>, with a calendar that includes several rounds of the CIV Italian \u200b\u200bChampionship<\/strong> and international events such as the Italian rounds of the WorldSBK Championship<\/strong>, the JuniorGP race at Barcelona<\/strong>, \u200b\u200band a dedicated race during World Ducati Week 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
