Ducati has announced its entry into the 2026 FIM Flat Track World Championship with the British-based VRX Dirt Store Ducati Race Team running a two-rider setup. The team will feature Tim Neave, the reigning British champion and current sixth-ranked rider, and 18-year-old Ashton Boughen, an up-and-coming talent previously racing with Yamaha Europe.
The championship, extended to ten rounds for 2026, will visit eight countries and two continents from May 9 to October 24-25. Neave and Boughen will compete on Ducati's ground-breaking Desmo450 MX model, developed with nine-time FIM Motocross World Champion Tony Cairoli, featuring desmodromic timing and cutting-edge technology. chickenroad.qpon
