This year’s World Ducati Week (WDW) mustered the biggest audience ever, with 90,000 fans arriving from all over the world to the Misano World Circuit. The highlight of this amazing meeting was the Race of Champions, an event that saw some of the biggest names in road racing at the moment.
Attendants witnessed the likes of Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso, Marco Melandri, Michelle Pirro and the legendary Troy Bayliss fighting the younger guns Xavier Simenon, Jack Miller or Tito Rabat on the Misano tarmac. The Race of Champions was won by Ducati’s long-standing test pilot Michele Pirro, who also started from pole, a most notable result that crowns the efforts and dedication he puts into developing Ducati’s superbikes and MotoGP prototypes.
Now, the 12 Ducati Panigale V4 S that took part in the race are up for public auction on eBay. The auction ends on July 28, so you still have time to figure out if you’re willing to bring home one or more of these beauties.
