Nicolai Skovbjerg Joins Ducati for 2027 MX2 Campaign

Nicolai Skovbjerg will race for the factory Ducati team in the 2027 FIM Motocross World Championship, in a significant signing for the Italian manufacturer's growing motocross program.

The Danish rider steps up to partner Italian Ferruccio Zanchi in the MX2 class, forming an exciting young duo for Ducati's factory effort. The announcement confirms Ducati's continued commitment to building a competitive presence in the world championship paddock.

Skovbjerg brings considerable speed and potential to the role. His performances have marked him as one of the promising talents in the MX2 division, and the factory Ducati seat represents a major opportunity to take the next step in his career.

Zanchi, already established within the Ducati structure, provides a strong benchmark for the newcomer. The Italian has shown impressive pace and will be targeting podium finishes as the team continues its development.

Ducati's investment in motocross has been one of the major stories of recent seasons. The Bologna factory, legendary in road racing and Superbike competition, is applying the same engineering excellence and racing passion to off-road competition.

The 2027 MX2 championship is shaping up to be fiercely competitive, with established stars and emerging talents all targeting the title. Skovbjerg's move to Ducati adds another fascinating subplot to watch.
