Ducati Riding Experience Announces Exclusive Date at Assen

The Borgo Panigale manufacturer announces a new extra date for the Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) event. Attendants will assemble at the iconic TT Assen circuit in the Netherlands on July 9-10 for an unique occasion to learn more about performance riding and meet some big names in the Ducati camp. The Dutch event will bring the Ducati 899, 1199 and 1199 S Panigale, Monster 1200, Multistrada, Hypermotard and Hyperstrada on the track. The DRE is carefully structured for riders with varying skills and track experience. Street riders can enter the Intermediate courses, while those with previous track experience can choose between no less than four different training options. For them, the Ducati Riding Experience is offering the Racing 1 and Racing 2 courses, alongside the Master Racing and the prestigious Troy Bayliss Academy. For the latter, groups of maximum 5 riders will be assembled and trained by the 3-time World Champion himself. The Racing 1 and 2 courses are limited to 50 students, also divided in groups of 5, while the Master Racing plan will only accommodate 12 riders in groups of three. Non-track riders will be restricted to the use of the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S, Hypermotard and Hyperstrada models, and the brand new Monster 1200, with the rest will have access to the sport bikes, as well. Among the many resonating names in the instructors’ team we must also mention Michele Pirro as a special guest. Pirro is the official Ducati Corse MotoGP test rider and has a huge track experience, as he also raced in the premier class on multiple occasions. The DRE events are scheduled as following: 9 July 2014
