The Italian manufacturer has become one of the favorite brands in the Mexican territory, mainly due to the number of events it carries out for the Ducatisti.

Francesco Milicia, Vice President of Ducati Global Sales; Jason Chinnock, CEO of Ducati North America; Erwin Richter, director of Ducati Mexico and Dario Marchetti, director of DRE Instructors were in charge of directing the event for the ducatisti.

RECEPTION
On Wednesday April 11 at 07:30 hours the registration of the pilots began.

Panigale, Supersport, Multiristada, Streetfighter and Monster motorcycles arrived from all over the Republic.

It was verified that the pilots had a driver's license and that the motorcycles met all the requirements to be able to be driven on the track.

As the riders checked in, their motorcycles were checked by a group of certified Ducati technicians for a mechanical check.

At 11:30 a.m., the users got on their motorcycles, warmed up their engines and reconnoitred the track with several laps at light speed.

In beginner, intermediate and advanced, the 75 pilots were separated to provide them with better instruction and give them a more complete experience.

All the pilots had the opportunity to complete 45 laps on the track, following the instructions of the experts and putting them into practice to improve their driving style.

The main event concluded at 6:00 p.m., with a total of 6 and a half hours of activities on the track.

With a two and a half hour break, the pilots had time to rest and freshen up to get to the luxurious dinner at the Loma Linda restaurant, listed as one of the best meat establishments in the country.

Everyone tasted an exquisite Argentine grill, empanadas, top sirloin and a salad bar.

To sweeten dinner a bit, Ducati prepared an audiovisual material, extending its gratitude to all users for their loyalty to the brand and for being a key link for its growth in the Country.
