Ducati made a successful debut in the Pro-Prestige MX1 Italian Motocross Championship at Mantova over the weekend. Alessandro Lupino, an eight-time Italian Champion, showcased the potential of the Desmo450 MX by taking pole position and winning the opening moto on Sunday. Although Lupino had a wire-to-wire victory in the first moto, a first turn crash in the second moto resulted in a seventh-place finish and second overall for the event. Lupino was enthusiastic about his experience with the Ducati team, praising their work on the bike and the excitement of being part of the brand's history. Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali also expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting the best time in free practice, pole position, and the first heat victory as a successful debut for the manufacturer.
The event provided valuable data for the development of the Desmo450 MX, which is set to be available to enthusiasts next year. The team will return to action on April 27th and 28th at the Congoli MC circuit for the next round of the Italian Motocross Championship. Now Lupino and the team kinda laid low during this event, speaking to very few press guys. But we do have a quick interview with him that he did after topping qualifying on Saturday. So let’s hear what his thoughts were after the first day of racing.
