SBK | Misano WDW 2026: A party, celebrations and an exciting performance by Lorenzo Baldassarri in the Lenovo Race of Champions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There was no real break for Lorenzo Baldassarri<\/strong> following the WorldSBK<\/strong> round at Misano<\/strong> on 12\u201314 June. Between media commitments and training sessions, the GoEleven<\/strong> rider still got his fill of competition thanks to a special edition of World Ducati Week<\/strong>, which \u2013 to mark the brand\u2019s centenary \u2013 featured Lorenzo himself among the stars of the Lenovo Race of Champions<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

An event within an event that is attracting ever-increasing attention from fans and industry insiders alike. Riding identical bikes \u2013 the brand-new Panigale V4S<\/strong> models \u2013 Ducati champions from the top European and world categories battled it out over a full race weekend at Misano, the historic venue for this major Ducati-themed event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abIt was my first experience both as a guest and as a rider at the WDW<\/strong>, and it was an incredible thrill. Being there for Ducati\u2019s centenary is a unique experience, and the huge crowds that turned out at the circuit confirmed that. The atmosphere was electric, shared with Ducati riders and motorbike enthusiasts from Italy and all over the world. Riding the Panigale V4S<\/strong> was fantastic. It\u2019s a bike that\u2019s incredibly fast even in standard spec, and that was evident in qualifying, where we set times almost on a par with Superbike machines, less than a tenth of a second behind Nicol\u00f2 Bulega<\/strong>, who rode brilliantly. In the race, we had a great time, put on a show and deserved our place on the podium. Celebrating with a third-place finish at such an important and unique event was marvellous. I needed it; I had to put the Misano round behind me and make up for that unlucky weekend. Congratulations to Ducati for organising a magnificent event, and I can\u2019t wait to get back on my Panigale V4R<\/strong> for this weekend\u2019s Donington Grand Prix.\u00bb (Lorenzo Baldassarri)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was a truly emotional moment for the GoEleven<\/strong> rider, who \u2013 from the World Championship circuits to Ducati\u2019s centenary celebrations \u2013 paid tribute to the marvellous bikes from Borgo Panigale<\/strong> with yet another of his outstanding performances. It was an honour to be there and to leave an indelible mark on this special occasion, which came as the culmination of a gruelling period of training and focus ahead of the second half of the championship.<\/span><\/p>\n
