The legendary Antonio Cairoli will make his return to racing this weekend, some 2 years, 9 months and 16 days have passed since we last saw the nine-time world champion behind the starting gate, at the Red Bud Motocross of Nations in 2022. We will finally have him back in action and for the first time in Ducati colours on the new Desmo 450MX.

After so many rumours and twists and turns, Cairoli will compete for the first time with Ducati this weekend 23 and 24 June in the fourth round of the Italian Prestige Championship in Ponte A Egola. You can watch the action live right here on mxlarge. More on the weekend.
