First look: Ducati Desmo250MX
By Team TMX on 10th Mar 25
Alessandro Lupino debuted Ducati’s Desmo250MX machine in the deep sands of Ottobiano and incredibly secured a stunning third place overall on the brand-new machine. The 34-year-old overcame the complications of an injured wrist caused by a clumsy take-out move in moto one to secure third overall with 10-2 finishes.

“I’m happy once again, we did a great job, and I have to congratulate the team at Ducati, who performed a miracle,” says Lupino. “The Desmo250 MX has only been running for three weeks, and today we came for a test day. However, if I hadn’t been taken out, we could have secured two second-place finishes. As a rider, I’m pleasantly surprised to have made it onto the podium and to already have such a competitive bike on our first outing.”
Ducati recently released details of when the Desmo 450MX will be available to buy in the UK. Read more about that here
