Six MotoGP riders join Valentino Rossi in the 100km Champions Dirt Track Battle

Valentino Rossi has introduced the star-studded entry checklist for the 2026 version of the annual Champions Grime Monitor Race 100km held on the Moto Ranch in Tavullia.

Six energetic MotoGP riders are anticipated to participate within the occasion, which is historically held in mid-January.

Defending winner and 2026 premier class rookie Diogo Moreira returns alongside KTM’s Pedro Acosta, Pramac Yamaha’s Jack Miller and ‘house’ VR46 Academy riders Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) and Luca Marini (Honda).

Surprisingly, Pertamina VR46 MotoGP riders Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Di Giannantonio should not on the checklist.

Along with Yamaha MotoGP take a look at rider Augusto Fernández, World SBK title runner-up Nicolo Brega, who competed on this season’s ultimate MotoGP race on a Ducati Lenovo as an injured substitute for Marc Marquez, may also be in attendance.

Different entries embrace Moreira’s Moto2 title rival Manuel Gonzalez, in addition to highway racing stars Dean Harrison, Davey Todd and Man Martin.

After the day before today’s “Americana” knockout contest, riders will compete in pairs for the “100km dei Campioni” award.

Final 12 months, Moreira and supermoto champion Thomas Chaleil beat Rossi and his brother Marini, with Elia Bartolini and Lorenzo Baldassarri taking third place.
