With MotoGP scheduled to return in a matter of weeks, Ducati held the 2022 World Ducati Week (WDW) at Italy’s Misano World Circuit on July 22-24, 2022. All the usual suspects from the Panigale, Streetfighter, and Multistrada families were in attendance, but fans filled the Misano stands for the Race of the Champions on Saturday, July 23.
With MotoGP talents such as Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini facing off against WSBK rider like Alvaro Bautista and MotoAmerica rookie Danilo Petrucci, the event wasn’t short on star power. As soon as the starting lights went out, Bagnaia jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
