The presentation of the Aruba.it – Ducati Factory MX Team will take place on Tuesday, February 11th at the Auditorium inside the Aruba Data Center Campus in Ponte San Pietro (Bergamo) and will be part of a major event celebrating Aruba.it’s commitment to the racing world. In addition to the Ducati Desmo450 MX bikes of Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini, the livery of the Ducati Panigale V4s of Álvaro Bautista and Nicolò Bulega, who will race for the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team in the Superbike World Championship, as well as the Ducati V21Ls of Alessandro Zaccone and Luca Bernardi, who will represent Aruba Cloud in the MotoE World Championship, will also be unveiled on stage.
“Ducati has decided to face a new challenge in the off-road world by developing a new model, the Desmo450 MX, the only motocross bike in the world to use the desmodromic system for valve actuation,” said Paolo Ciabatti, General Manager Ducati Corse Off-Road. “In 2024, we made our racing debut in the Italian Championship, winning the MX1 title with Alessandro Lupino. This year, we’re facing a significantly bigger commitment with the Motocross World Championship – MXGP. That’s why we’re very pleased that Aruba.it has chosen to join us in this exciting new sports adventure. Together with Jeremy and Mattia, we will give our best to reward our title sponsor for their trust.”
“The strong partnership between Aruba and Ducati is built on the many values that unite our companies and, above all, our shared love for great challenges,” concluded Stefano Cecconi, CEO of Aruba. “For over ten years, we’ve raced on asphalt together, managing the official team in WorldSBK, and we’re already in our second season in MotoE. We’re thrilled to embark on this new adventure in the world of Motocross – MXGP 2025. This project represents a new global stage for us, offering another opportunity to communicate our shared passion for technology, performance, and reliability. The debut season will undoubtedly be challenging, but I have great confidence in the abilities of the riders, the entire team, and everyone working in Borgo Panigale. Forza Ducati!”
