Zanchi and Mancini sign with Beddini Ducati Factory Racing

The Beddini Ducati Factory team has announced its riders for the 2026 season. Ferruccio Zanchi, who rode for HRC Honda over the past two seasons, will pilot the Ducati DESMO 250 in 2026.
Zanchi secured his first race win and podium finish in the MX2 World Championship this year at the Spanish Grand Prix, but was injured shortly afterward and had to miss the remainder of the season. In 2026, he will once again compete in the MX2 World Championship.

Alongside Zanchi, Simone Mancini will also be riding. Mancini transfers from Fantic and will compete in the EMX250 class.
