30,000 pack World Ducati Week party

Almost 30,000 people from all over Europe and the U.S. have packed into Misano to celebrate World Ducati Week.

You can read all about World Ducati Week in more detail in the new MCN, out June 19.

This is the first time the bi-annual event has been stretched from its previous weekend format to a full seven-day jamboree, and record numbers proved the decision was the right one.

Ducati thanked its fans by using the event to give its all-new V4 MotoGP bike its first public airing on Saturday.

The factory’s WSB stars including Neil Hodgson and James Toesland were on hand, signing autographs and chatting with fans.

After the weekend the party moved away from Misano to the WDW Beach Party at Le Navi Park, Cattolica, for five days of windsurfing, football, music, sun, sea, surf and Ducatis. It returns to Misano this weekend for the grand finale of the WSB round.
