Having become the father of his second daughter, Valentino Rossi will not fail to organize the tenth edition of the 100 km of Champions in his Ranch this January 10 and 11. Once again, the Doctor will bring together 45 other Motorcycle drivers to race on his double oval. A great opportunity to bring together some figures from the next MotoGP grid.
Seven drivers from the premier category will indeed take part in the festivities. As usual, the riders from the VR46 Riders Academy, who usually train at the Italian Ranch, in Tavullia, will be present. In addition to these regulars, Pedro Acosta and Miguel Oliveira will take part in the competition weekend.
The Italian and his half-brother, Luca Marini, will put their title on the line after winning the 2024 edition of the event. As a reminder, the event is generally held over two days, with an individual qualifying game on the first day. Followed by the 100km long race.
