Now that the seven Ducati Globetrotters 90th have been selected, the round-the-world trip is ready to retrace the most significant stages of the 90 years of history belonging to Ducati. Over 30,000 kilometres await the seven “torchbearers” split into a relay race as they step in to replace each other on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro, recording the places and people that have built the brand’s history in an online diary at www.globetrotter90.ducati.com.
The Indian who has been selected, Vir Nakai will leave on July 4, 2016, exactly 90 years after Ducati was founded, starting out from the Borgo Panigale factory. Having taken part in the World Ducati Week, the major gathering taking place from July 1 – 3 at the Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, a parade of motorcycles from the DOC’s (Ducati Owners Clubs, the heart of the Ducati Community), will escort him from Misano to Bologna to officially start this extraordinary adventure.
The seven riders, with their characteristic globetrotter attitude, will respectively undertake the seven different legs of this round-the-world trip on a Multistrada 1200 Enduro. A relay across 3 continents, passing from one to another will be a specially designed “torch” created by the Ducati Design Center to symbolically spread the fire of passion around the globe, the passion that burns and fuels the spirit of Ducati.
It was by no means a simple task selecting the finalists. Choosing the "magnificent seven" was a very methodical operation, which began in April with an online "casting" on the Ducati website. Regardless of gender, amateur or professional, or the nationality, enrolment was open to everyone.
