Like every year in January, Valentino Rossi invites beautiful people to his Ranch, for a race without serious stakes on the famous Oval of his Ranch. 2025 is no exception to the rule, since its academy has just published the list of 46 entrants for the tenth edition of this annual meeting, which will take place on January 10 and 11.

A list on which we find the regulars of the Tavullia Ranch who are the members of the VR46 Riders Academy who compete in MotoGP. In addition to Pecco Bagnaia, Franco Morbidelli, Luca Marini and the other Italian drivers on the grid, Pedro Acosta and Miguel Oliveira will join the festivities. Seven drivers from the premier category will take part in the event which takes place in pairs.

We will find eight other riders in the world championship, from the Moto2 and Moto3 categories, as well as two former riders from the intermediate classes, Andrea Migno and Mattia Pasini. Riders from Superbike, Supersport, MotoE, MotoAmerica and various Junior championships will complete the line-ups of the 23 crews entered at the Rossi Ranch.

Last year, Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini started in pole position for the 100km of Champions, before honoring their favorite status and winning during the flagship event of the event. The two brothers had covered the 50 laps to be completed in 1h45 and 54 seconds, ahead of the pairs Elia Bartolini – Celestino Vietti and Franco Morbidelli – Andrea Migno, who started just behind them at the start of the race.

As a reminder, the event is traditionally organized over two days. The first day being that of the qualifying event, and the second, that of the event which takes place in pairs around the double oval of the Rossi Ranch. The prizes to be won by the winners are also often atypical. You can find different rewards such as sausage necklaces.
