Ducati’s Motocross debut captured for YouTube

On 20 December 2024, the Ducati YouTube channel launched the first of four episodes in its miniseries reliving Ducati’s sensational winning debutin specialist off-road racing in Motocross and celebrating the racing prestige of the new Desmo450 MX model.

Follow the action right from the start in Mantua, where Alessandro Lupino got the Desmo450 MX to the top of the podium, to Arco di Trento, where Lupino “Lupo” became the Italian MX1 Champion and secured Ducati’s first Motocross title.
