Where is the sticker kit? After parking the big rig at the 2025 SX rounds, Ducati North America “officially” announces the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Supercross and Pro Motocross team. This official Ducati Corse Off-Road factory team will debut at the Anaheim 1 Supercross on January 10, 2026. This historic partnership unites three icons that have each redefined what racing means — Ducati, the name synonymous with precision and performance; Red Bull, the global symbol of speed and human potential; and Troy Lee Designs, the creative force whose artistry and innovation have shaped the very culture of motocross. The Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing team riders’ lineup and official Troy Lee Designs custom liveries will be unveiled in the coming weeks, according to the announcement, but we are hoping for a sneak peek in Milan at EICMA next week.
Closer to home, Troy Lee says he is stoked! “I’m just super stoked and proud to be partnered back with Red Bull… it feels almost like a reunion. We’ve been partners for over 20 years, and their passion for motorsports and belief in me and the TLD brand has always meant the world. Now, to be teaming up with Ducati in their 100th year is not just a big deal for our race team, but huge for the entire moto industry. Honestly, this is a dream come true. From painting helmets in my garage in Corona to having a full-on factory team based out of the TLD headquarters, this is history in the making with some of the biggest names in the paddock. Massive respect and gratitude to Paolo and the entire TLD crew who came together to make this dream a reality. Without them and other key people, none of this would’ve happened. What started as just a conversation two years ago is now a full-blown reality, and come January, the world’s going to see it shine. We’re all in and I think 2026 is going to be the next level.”
Paolo Ciabatti, General Manager, Ducati Corse Off-Road, adds, “From the very first test, our goal was clear — to bring Ducati’s racing DNA into the world of Motocross and Supercross. Not only to participate, but to compete at the highest level. With the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing team, we’ve found a partner who shares the same belief: racing is more than results. It’s about passion, innovation, and leaving a mark that endures… Now it is time for Ducati to take center stage at Supercross.”
