A 9-time world champion deliberately entering three unfamiliar American rounds. And on a still-developing Ducati motocrosser at that. Speaking as someone who's watched from the inside, this kind of legend crossing borders is exactly what sharpens technology and the scene together. The Troy Lee special livery is a fitting costume for such a grand stage.

If Ducati's off-road bike goes into production, the price is probably gonna be brutal.

Is Troy Lee the guy behind that gear brand?

Right, TLD, known for their graphics and gear. The Desmo450's Ducati's first proper motocrosser.

It's just a spot entry for 3 US rounds, can't deny it feels like a publicity move.

No doubt he's a legend, but I get that 3 races isn't enough to gauge current form.

A 9-time MX champion now on Ducati's Desmo450, that's exciting.
