Italian Championship MX Round 6 Arco di Trento
- Pole position and victory for Lupino in Arco di Trento
- First victory in the Italian Pro Prestige Championship for the Desmo250 MX
The sixth and final round of the Italian Pro Prestige MX2 Motocross Championship took place this weekend on the Ciclamino track in Pietramurata, where the Italian series concluded. After earning his second consecutive pole position on Saturday, Alessandro Lupino lined up for Sunday’s first race. He was determined to make the most of his speed.
At the start of the first moto, Lupino couldn’t capitalize on his strong start. He came out of the first corner around the fifteenth position. The Italian then began a challenging comeback on the muddy track. He finished second. The final race of the year got off to a better start. The 2024 Italian MX1 Champion was sixth after the start and quickly made his way up the group on the first lap. He moved into third and took second place a lap later.
Alessandro caught up with the race leader on lap six. The move came promptly after a few corners with a strong braking maneuver. Once in the lead, Lupino held on until the finish line. He crossed the checkered flag in first, securing the first position of the day. This was celebrated by all the team members. Desmo250 MX project manager Davide Perni presented Lupino with a Ducati flag. It was signed by everyone who worked on the 250 project in Borgo Panigale.
The 2025 season thus ended with a victory for the Team Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2. The Ducati Desmo250MX, with Lupino, secured his fifth podium of the year. He also achieved second place overall in the Italian Pro Prestige MX2 championship.
Alessandro Lupino:
“I’m very happy with this result; this year has been much more difficult than last year, and today on the final lap I realized that we’ve once again written a new chapter in Ducati’s history. The Desmo250 MX is still very young, and in Ducati they’ve done a great job bringing it to this level. This weekend we have taken another step in the development for 2026, and I think whoever will ride this bike next year will appreciate it. I want to thank everyone who worked on the 250 project in Borgo Panigale, the Beddini team, and everyone at Ducati Corse.”
