All thirteen Panigale V4 S bikes from the “Race of Champions” have been auctioned on eBay

Right from the start of this closely contested auction there was huge interest in Troy Bayliss' bike, which generated ever-higher bids that eventually reached the record-breaking figure of 120,000 euro. Dovizioso, Melandri, Lorenzo, Pirro (Race of Champions winner) and Petrucci's bikes were also in great demand, going for between 40,000 and 62,400 euro, with the bikes ridden by Miller, Davies, Rabat, Forés, Abraham, Rinaldi, and Siméon following in their wake.

All thirteen Panigale V4 S bikes from the “Race of Champions” have been auctioned on eBay

“Race of Champions” Panigale V4 S auction week marked by a surge of bids

Record-breaking bid of 120,000 euro for Troy Bayliss’ bike

eBay auction followed by hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts

The “Race of Champions”, which saw Ducati riders fight for victory on the Panigale V4 S, was one of the most thrilling moments of WDW2018. Immediately after the race the thirteen specially built bikes were auctioned on eBay, with ever increasing bids capturing the attention of media and enthusiasts alike until the auction closed at 6 p.m. on Saturday 28 July.

All thirteen Panigale V4 S bikes (the 12 used in the race plus the one prepared for Chaz Davies, injured on the eve of WDW and unable to compete) were auctioned.

The bikes feature exclusive livery and graphics dedicated to their individual riders, with colour schemes drawing their inspiration from the bikes used in MotoGP or SBK races. On each steering yoke, a badge shows the rider’s name and race number. Each rider’s indelible autograph on the tank, plus a  certificate of authenticity signed by Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, and the rider himself, adding to the motorcycle’s value. To complete this exclusive bike, each bcomes with a series of special components used during the Race of Champions and a complete set of original parts, exhausts included, required for legal road use.

Right from the start of this closely contested auction there was huge interest in Troy Bayliss’ bike, which generated ever-higher bids that eventually reached the record-breaking figure of 120,000 euro. Dovizioso, Melandri, Lorenzo, Pirro (Race of Champions winner) and Petrucci’s bikes were also in great demand, going for between 40,000 and 62,400 euro, with the bikes ridden by Miller, Davies, Rabat, Forés, Abraham, Rinaldi, and Siméon following in their wake.

The auction generated a total of 7.084 bids from all over the world, with some 1.516 people battling it out to option the thirteen bikes. The uniqueness of the event also aroused huge interest on social media: official Ducati profiles saw more than 7 million views between Instagram and Facebook.

The fondness and esteem that Ducatisti still nurture for Troy Bayliss, a true Ducati icon, three-times winner of the World SBK Championship and recently (at the age of 49) winner of a SBK race in Australia on a Ducati Panigale, is impressive.

Si eres fan de Ducati, el World Ducati Week es un evento al que tienes que ir por lo menos una vez en tu vida, pues es la mayor reunión de ducatistas en el mundo. En esta ocasión el WDW2018 se celebró del viernes 20 al domingo 22 de julio en el Circuito Mundial de Misano Marco Simoncelli y se dieron cita casi 100,000 fanáticos de la marca de Borgo Panigale.

Aunque el evento arrancó oficialmente el viernes, desde el jueves se sintió la presencia de los casi 4,400 motores de los diferentes Desmo Owners Clubs de 33 diferentes países en la bahía de Cattolica, en la Riviera Adriática. Las puertas del circuito se abrieron el viernes a las 8 am y los primeros en entrar fueron tres ducatistas que rodaron desde Grecia en sus Multistrada. Aunque sin duda, los que mayor distancia recorrieron para asistir al WDW2018 fueron los chinos Ken Lu y Lv Fei, quienes viajaron 7,575 kilómetros de Sinkiang a Bolonia en solo siete días a bordo de sus Multistrada 1200 Enduro.

El viernes por la noche, un desfile de miles de motociclistas partió del circuito y se lanzó al muelle de Rimini para asistir a una “rustida” y a la Scrambler Beach Party amenizada por DJ Ringo y Virgin Radio. Pero antes, se dieron cita en la Arena del circuito Misano para la Scrambler Flat Track Race, una carrera muy peleada llena de giros, derrapes y persecuciones que finalizó con la victoria de Andrea Dovizioso sobre Xavier Simeon y Danilo Petrucci en la ronda final.

Los asistentes al WDW2018 pudieron echar un vistazo a una de las nuevas motos que Ducati lanzará en 2019, algo para lo que los simples mortales tendremos que esperar a noviembre.

En la “Land of Joy” de la Villa Scrambler, había un globo aerostático anclado al suelo desde el cual los visitantes pudieron ver el abarrotado paddock del WDW2018 a una altura de 100 metros. Otra experiencia alucinante fue la vivida en el Scrambler Silodrome, una estructura cilíndrica de madera dentro de la cual unos ‘Juan sin miedo’ desafiaban las leyes de la gravedad a bordo de dos Scramblers realizando acrobacias en el muro vertical del Coliseo.

Uno de los platos fuertes del WDW2018 fue la Carrera de Campeones, donde varios pilotos de distintas categorías de Ducati se subían a la nueva Panigale V4 en el Circuito de Misano. Los más esperados eran los oficiales de Moto GP, Jorge Lorenzo y Andrea Dovizioso, pero la victoria se la llevó Michele Pirro, quien se mostró intratable de principio a fin. Por cierto, las 12 Ducati Panigale V4 S utilizadas durante esta carrera estarán a subasta en eBay hasta el 28 de julio, así que ya saben qué hacer si les sobra una lanita (van de 28,500 a 82,000 euros al momento de escribir esto) para pujar por alguno de estos bólidos preparados para los pilotos de Ducati.

El presidente de Ducati, Claudio Domenicali, comentó que “la World Ducati Week es una gran fiesta, una celebración para todos los Ducatistas que cada dos años nos une a todos para compartir la pasión por esta marca única. Ducati tiene un gran pasado, en la última edición del WDW celebramos nuestro 90º aniversario, pero también tiene un extraordinario presente con una gama fantástica de productos”.

“Gracias a las motos más bellas de nuestra historia, podemos seguir creciendo, compartiendo emociones y logros con nuestros aficionados. Emociones como el vuelo de la Frecce Tricolore justo antes del comienzo de la Carrera de Campeones, o entrar al circuito esta mañana. Algo especial, único, poderoso, que es la confirmación de que formo parte de una comunidad de mujeres y hombres que trabajan y comparten, junto con decenas de miles de ducatistas que han viajado a la Riviera Adriática, el orgullo de pertenecer a esta histórica y prestigiosa marca. Somos muchos, ayer un 30% más que el 2016, y esperamos que esta 10ª edición sea un nuevo récord, ¡Viendo el paddock del Circuito Mundial de Misano con tanta gente me pone la piel de gallina!”.

WDW2018, ¡Ducatistas del mundo, uníos! Si eres fan de Ducati, el World Ducati Week es un evento al que tienes que ir por lo menos una vez en tu vida, pues es la mayor reunión de ducatistas en el mundo.

Record attendance at 10th edition of World Ducati Week

91,596 attendees in three days: the 10th edition of the WDW beats all previous records by over 10,000 Ducatisti

Races, shows, music, emotions and tens of thousands of motorcycles close the Ducati weekend at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”

The “Race of Champions” which thrilled fans on Saturday continues with the auction of 13 Panigale V4 S motorcycles raced by the Ducati riders on eBay

The 10th edition of World Ducati Week, the international gathering that brings the Ducati community together every two years, ended with a record turnout. WDW2018 engaged and excited tens of thousands of motorcyclists coming from all over the world, meeting at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli” from 20 to 22 July to celebrate and share their enthusiasm for Ducati.

An incredible number of people and lots of motorcycles made this unique celebration even greater. In three days there were 91,596 attendees at the Misano World Circuit, exceeding the previous record of 81,000 attendees set in 2016 by 13%. The participants travelled to the Adriatic Riviera from five continents, representing 73 countries. While 60% of the riders were Italian, the remaining 40% are evidence of the power and appeal of the Ducati brand around the world. Of particular note were Ken Lu and Lv Fei, the two Chinese riders who rode their Multistrada 1200 Enduro from Xinjiang (China) to Bologna in only seven days. The journey across continents was an extraordinary undertaking which saw them travel 7,575 km through 10 countries to arrive at Misano Adriatico.

Many activities and opportunities make WDW2018 a unique event. Meetings and autograph sessions with Ducati riders, riding courses and test rides of new motorcycles, taxi drives on the track with high performance Lamborghini, Audi and Seat cars, technical courses at Ducati University, performances by stuntmen and laps on the track all take place. Many thematic areas, each with different activities and atmospheres, include the colourful “Land of Joy” of the Ducati Scrambler world, the Monster Village (celebrating the iconic bike’s 25th anniversary), an area dedicated to the Panigale and the Multistrada Experience featuring Carlin Dunne’s Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak, winner of Pikes Peak 2018 race. The exclusive “preview room,” prepared just for WDW2018 participants, also aroused great interest and long queues, giving visitors a preview of one of Ducati’s new motorcycles for 2019.

The event surface area was impressive, including a total of about 90,000 square metres inside the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, 75,000 in the paddock and more than 15,000 dedicated to the off-road area and Ducati Scrambler Flat Race & School and DRE Safety.

One of the most exciting moments of this edition of WDW took place at 1 pm on Saturday, 21 July when the “Race of Champions” started, preceded by a spectacular flyover of the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team. The race featured 12 Ducati MotoGP and SBK Champions competing on the Misano circuit riding the Panigale V4 S, specially prepared with racing configuration and customised liveries. A show without equal that only Ducati could offer. A real race that was won by Michele Pirro, followed by Rabat, Forés, Miller, Melandri, Rinaldi, then Dovizioso, Siméon, Petrucci, Lorenzo, Abraham and Bayliss to complete the exceptional line-up of the “Race of Champions”.

Ducati also decided to give to fans all over the world the chance to buy the 13 Panigale V4 S bikes from the “Race Of Champions” (including the one prepared for Chaz Davies, unable to participate due to an accident during training, and therefore replaced by Xavier Siméon) through a public auction on eBay. A dream that becomes reality for the fans of the brand starting at 6 pm on Saturday afternoon, an incredible number of bids being made on the motorcycles before the auctions end on Saturday, 28 July at 6 pm.

Saturday night the music of Radio Deejay and the Street Clerks band provided an entertaining and engaging evening on the stage set up in Piazzale Roma in Riccione. Claudio Domenicali and the Ducati riders greeted all the Ducatisti, receiving in turn tributes of affection and esteem from the large audience. The stage was then left to Nina Zilli and her music, another gift for the participants of World Ducati Week and for the large audience in Riccione, all engaged in a weekend dedicated to “desmodromic sound”.

All Ducati employees were actively involved in planning the event, and during the weekend of the WDW, which this year included more than 250 people from the company (managers, engineers, technicians and employees) as part of the organisational staff.

Ducati was able to count on the collaboration of the Municipality of Misano, as well as the Municipalities of Rimini, Cattolica and Riccione, not to mention the government of the Republic of San Marino, which organised and supported the evening events. Last, but certainly not least given its key role, the Marco Simoncelli Misano World Circuit which has hosted all editions of the WDW right from the start.
