From Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini’s home domination to last year’s surprise non-Italian victory – all the 100km dei Campioni winners ahead of this weekend’s 11th edition.
The eleventh edition of Valentino Rossi’s 100km dei Campioni dirt track race is set to take place at his Moto Ranch in Tavullia this weekend, where riders compete in pairs.
This event was first held in 2014, a year after the establishment of the VR46 Riders Academy, with Nicolo Bulega and Lorenzo Baldassarri claiming victory in its inaugural year.
Valentino Rossi boasts six ‘home’ wins at the event, often with his younger brother Luca Marini, but has been defeated on occasion, like in 2017 and 2022.
Rossi’s most recent triumph was in 2024, alongside Marini, and the upcoming 11th edition will feature Diogo Moreira and Thomas Chareyre aiming for success.
Several current MotoGP riders will join the competition, highlighting the diverse and competitive nature of the 100km dei Campioni race series.
