Whether there will be any competitive outings for Cairoli remains to be seen.Ĭlaudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, said: "I am proud to announce Ducati's entry into Motocross. Lupino will work with nine-times Motocross World Champion Cairoli as a test rider for Ducati, in addition to his racing duties in the Italian Championship. Maddii has previously worked with brands such as Husqvarna, with which it finished second in the 2020 EMX250 series with Mattia Guadagnini, and Fantic, whose bikes Maddii fielded in the 2023 MXGP World Championship. Lupino will race for the Maddii Racing squad, which has been chosen by Ducati to lead its motocross efforts on the race track on a multi-year contract. But Ducati says its focus with the new off-road project “is a combination of the search for lightness pushed to the extreme, top components and engines characterised by a very wide delivery curve.” The final point is an indication of the use of desmodromic valves (as used in its production sports bikes and MotoGP prototypes), which Ducati has confirmed, while its apparent emphasis on low weight could indicate the use of atypical materials in the bike’s construction compared to those which are more traditional in dirt bikes, although this is only speculation.ĭucati will compete next season with Alessandro Lupino in the 2024 Italian Motocross Championship, who was alongside Cairoli for Team Italy in the 2021 Motocross of Nations. Moreover the Monster Energy MXGP of Flanders will host the supporting classes of EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing and the unique round of the EMX Open while the MXGP of The Netherlands will be hosting the supporting classes of the EMX250 and the WMX.The displacement of the bike has not yet been confirmed, and the entire bike remains a mystery apart from the fact that it exists. The last time MXGP set foot in Frauenfeld Jeffrey Herlings and Jorge Prado clinched the wins in MXGP and MX2 respectively, each on their way to winning their 2018 World titles.Īfter being in the MXGP calendar from when it first appearance in 2016 until 2018, the popular Swiss venue is making a comeback, to the delight of local heroes such as MXGP Vice Champion Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jeremy Seewer, as well as Valentin Guillod and Kevin Brumann.īeing the GP set over the Easter weekend, the Saturday programme remains unchanged while the Sunday program is shifted to Monday, leaving the Easter Sunday as a day’s break.Ī further update to the calendar features the MXGP of Finland, which is now confirmed on 30th July and will return in Hyvinkaa for the second year in a row after the success of the 2022 comeback where Glenn Coldenhoff and Tom Vialle won in MXGP and MX2 respectively. The third event of the 2023 season sees the return of Switzerland as Frauenfeld gets ready to welcome back the MXGP of Switzerland for the first time since 2018 but on this occasion the circuit will be completely new, creating an added challenge for the riders. The first time Sardinia appeared in the calendar was in 2021 while in 2022 Calvin Vlaanderen clinched the victory in MXGP whilst in MX2 the race saw a tight battle with Tom Vialle winning in front of Jago Geerts.
