- The official Ducati MXGP team will be run by Louis Vosters’ Dutch squad, which will enter three Desmo450 MX factory bikes.
A new chapter in Ducati’s history gets underway in its second year of participation in the FIM Motocross World Championship, as it joins forces with Louis Vosters’ team, ushering in a new era with the Dutch squad.
Drawing on decades of experience in the MXGP paddock, first as a sponsor and then creating his own racing team in 2015, Louis Vosters, a successful entrepreneur, has earned recognition over the years for his professionalism, managing a cohesive and competitive team that has achieved highly prestigious results. With a facility located in Bergeijk, Netherlands, close to Lommel, the true beating heart of world motocross and home of the Grand Prix of Flanders, the Dutch team will field3 factory Desmo450 MX machines in the 2026 MXGP World Championship. These will be raced by 31-year-old Swiss rider @jeremyseewer91, confirmed with Ducati and twice a podium finisher in 2025, and two new factory Ducati riders, @andreabonacorsi32 and @calvinvlaanderen.
European Champion in the EMX125 class in 2020 and EMX250 class in 2023, Bonacorsi finished his first full MXGP season in eighth place, earning his first podium in the premier class with Vosters’ team. Andrea is one of the most promising Italian talents and managed to reach the podium in the 2023 Motocross of Nations, on his debut aboard a 450.
Vlaanderen, a 29-year-old South African-born Dutch racer, boasts a Grand Prix victory in MX2 in 2018, one in MXGP in 2022, a Dutch title in the 500 class in the same year, and a Motocross of Nations win with the Dutch team in 2019, aboard a 250.
Paolo Ciabatti, General Manager of Ducati Corse Off-Road: “We are delighted to announce this important agreement with Louis Vosters’ team, undoubtedly one of the most professional in the MXGP paddock.
