ROAD RACING ATHLETES

Circuit racers such as MotoGP athletes provide us with nuanced feedback about how gear feels on track, especially under race loads and not just in static tests. This includes the fit of suits and gloves during aggressive moves, how ventilation works at high speed, and how easy it is to operate controls. We work together with experienced athletes such as Michele Pirro in MotoGP, as well as local talents who compete in national championships.

MOTOGP

The most experienced MotoGP rider in our paddock was born in Italy, back in 1986. Michele Pirro has been active in the premier class since 2012 and has spent most of his time on a Ducati, primarily testing and developing World Championship-winning bikes. He also competes for the title of the Italian Superbike Championship and holds several Wildcards to participate in other events.

MOTO2

Moto2 is a proving ground for riders ready to take the next step towards the premier class. With powerful prototypes, tight grids and little room for mistakes, every lap demands precision, consistency and confidence. The lessons learned here go far beyond race day, giving us valuable insight into what riders need when performance is the priority.

MOTO3

Moto3 is where raw talent gets its first real taste of world-class racing. Lightweight bikes and close competition leave little room for hesitation, forcing riders to refine every corner, braking point, and move through the pack. It is a demanding environment where the next generation helps us to further reduce the weight of our racing gear.

BAGGER WORLD CUP

The Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup brings big bikes, big lean angles and proper racing to circuits around the world. Riders push specially prepared baggers to their limits, turning machines built for long-distance cruising into serious race bikes. For us, it is another chance to learn from riders tackling a very different kind of motorcycle racing.

CARDOSO RACING

We work very closely with former MotoGP rider José Luis Cardoso and the Cardoso Racing team. They compete in the JuniorGP Moto2 Championship and José is also the founder of the Cardoso School. Besides MACNA being the go-to brand at his own circuit in Sevilla, there is also a VIP area in the paddock with a special corner dedicated to tailor-made Mizuro suits.

SBK (BRASIL)

Honda Racing Brasil brings together some of Brazil’s fastest road racers, competing at the front of the country’s SuperBike championship. With a racing programme that dates back to 1978 and a long list of national titles, Honda has become a major force in Brazilian motorcycle racing. We support the next generation of speed as they push for results on Brazil’s biggest circuits.

CEV (SPAIN)

Fast bikes, close racing and some of the best young talent in Europe. The CEV gives riders the chance to prove themselves across classes ranging from Superbike and Supersport to Moto2, Moto3 and Moto4. As part of the Road to MotoGP, it has become one of the key stages for riders looking to turn racing potential into a career on the world stage.

CIV (ITALY)

The Campionato Italiano Velocità, or CIV, is Italy’s national stage for road racing and a proving ground for riders aiming higher. From Superbike and Supersport to the rising stars of Moto3 and Moto4, the championship brings together speed, competition and young talent. Ducati adds another layer with its V2 and V4 categories, giving riders the chance to develop their skills on some of Italy’s most iconic circuits.
