DUCATI SIGNS MATTIA GUADAGNINI

Jeremy Seewer ’ s move from Kawasaki to

Ducati showed the Italian brand is serious about MX , and now the spare team seat has been announced . His new teammate will be Mattia Guadagnini , the 2019 Junior World and European 125 Champion , who finished fourth in his debut MX2 season in 2021 . The 22-year-old Italian , riding an Italian bike , will be at the forefront of Ducati ’ s entry into MXGP , bringing with it a legion of Ducati fans who , until recently , had to settle for road racing alone . Mattia Guadagnini will definitely be one to watch as he ties country and brand together with Italian passion for the sport . How the new team will go against the battlehardened veterans of the sport is yet to be seen but Ducati has spared no expense and has the pedigree to succeed , making it a racing fan ’ s dream . Nothing is off the cards in MXGP .
