Six MotoGP riders will challenge Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi has confirmed a spectacular entry list for the 2026 "100km of Champions" at his famous Tavullia Moto Ranch. The mid-January dirt track spectacle features six current MotoGP riders, including defending winner and rookie Diogo Moreira. He joins Pedro Acosta, Jack Miller, and VR46 Academy stars Francesco Bagnaia, Marco Bezzecchi, and Luca Marini. Notably absent are Academy members Franco Morbidelli and Fabio di Giannantonio.

The diverse field also includes Yamaha tester Augusto Fernandez, WorldSBK runner-up Nicolo Bulega, and road racing icons like Guy Martin. Following the traditional "Americana" knockout, participants will compete in pairs for the main endurance title.

Last year, Moreira and Thomas Chareyre narrowly defeated Rossi and his brother Marini. Bringing together elite talent from MotoGP, WorldSBK, and road racing, this unique event promises thrilling action as the world’s best motorcycle racers slide on the dirt for bragging rights at Rossi’s legendary and exclusive home training ground.
