nounced the all-new Troy
Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati
Factory Racing Supercross
and Pro Motocross team on
Monday, October 27. The team
will serve as the official Ducati
Corse Off-Road factory team
and will debut at the Anaheim 1
Supercross on January 10, 2026.
No riders have been officially an
-
nounced yet, but we expect two
additions to the team to ride the
new Desmo450 MX in the 450SX
and 450MX divisions.
"From the very first test, our
goal was clear: to bring Ducati's
racing DNA into the world of
motocross and supercross,"
said Paolo Ciabatti, the general
manager of Ducati Corse Off-
Road. "Not only to participate,
but to compete at the highest
level. With the Troy Lee Designs
Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing
team, we've found a partner who
shares the same belief: racing
is more than results. It's about
passion, innovation and leaving
a mark that endures."
"I'm just super stoked and
proud to be partnered back with
Red Bull, and it feels almost like
a reunion," said Troy Lee. "We've
been partners for over 20 years,
and their passion for motors
-
ports and belief in me and the
TLD brand has always meant
the world. Now, to be teaming
up with Ducati in their 100th
year is not just a big deal for our
race team but huge for the entire
moto industry. Honestly, this is a
dream come true. From painting
helmets in my garage in Corona
to having a full-on factory team
based out of the TLD headquar
-
ters, this is history in the making
with some of the biggest names
in the paddock. Massive respect
and gratitude to Paolo and the
entire TLD crew who came
together to make this dream a
reality. Without them and other
key people, none of this would've
happened. What started as just
a conversation two years ago
is now a full-blown reality, and
come January, the world's going
to see it shine. We're all in, and
I think 2026 is going to be next
level."
