We are working hard ahead of the debut in Argentina and we want to get the maximum potential out of our Desmo450 MX. The goal we have set for ourselves is to get confident quickly and to be fighting for the podium fairly early in the 2025 season.”
Mattia Guadagnini #101: “It is truly a great honour for me to be part of this project and to be one of the two riders with whom Ducati will participate in its first Motocross World Championship. From the very first days that I breathed the air of the Company I understood its greatness and I am sure that this season will be remembered in the future. I am pumped up to start this adventure, convinced that we will find a way to improve the bike and I expect to be able to achieve good results already this year.”
