The 9th edition of the World Ducati Week will most certainly be a special one as it coincides with such an important date as the 90th anniversary of Ducati.

Bikes that have achieved significant accomplishments and written unforgettable pages of the world’s motorcycling history. WDW2016 will be the highlight of the company’s 90th anniversary celebrations with the Ducati community. With this important anniversary in mind, the paddock of the “Marco Simoncelli Misano World Circuit” will be alive with numerous initiatives including an area dedicated to the 90th anniversary celebrations thanks to which participants will be able to explore the company’s history. The atmosphere will be unique and those present will have the opportunity to meet the heroes who have made the Ducati brand and bikes as great as they are today.

The Ducati Heritage Contest will reward the most stunning of all the amazing historic bikes present in the paddock during this special edition of the World Ducati Week. All historic single-cylinder bikes produced between 1946 and 1978 will be eligible for the contest, along with twin-cylinder bikes produced between 1971 and 1996. During WDW2016 a special team of judges will select the best conserved and restored bikes. The winner will be chosen from amongst all the motorcycles participating in the final and its owner will be awarded by one of the legendary riders from Ducati’s history.

Another event which will involve the whole Ducati community is the Ducati Garage Contest, which, since WDW2002, has awarded the best custom bikes created by Ducatisti from all over the world. Participants must first make it through an online selection, sending one or more photos of the bike they’ve created, together with the competition entry form, to the following address: DGC@ducati.com by 29 May 2016 at the latest. Ducati will select the 10 best-looking bikes and these will have the privilege of being displayed during WDW2016. The final selection will then take place in Misano and the public shall have the last say in proclaiming the winner of the coveted award for the best custom bike.

Alongside these, a multitude of other initiatives are being devised to make the 90th anniversary of Ducati really special and well and truly celebrated at WDW2016. In order to communicate and share such an important anniversary, Ducati has activated various channels such as the #‎90YearsOfDucati hashtag present on the official Facebook page where every week, on Thursdays, historical images and stories are published with the active involvement of followers and the international DOCs (Desmo Owners Clubs).

WDW2016 will mark another important achievement.
