Valentino Rossi has released a star-studded entry list for the 2026 edition of the annual 100km of Champions dirt track race, held at his Moto Ranch in Tavullia.
The event, which traditionally takes place in mid-January, is due to feature six current MotoGP riders.
Defending winner and 2026 premier-class rookie Diogo Moreira returns alongside KTM’s Pedro Acosta, Pramac Yamaha’s Jack Miller, plus ‘home’ VR46 Academy riders Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) and Luca Marini (Honda).
Surprisingly, Pertamina VR46 MotoGP riders Franco Morbidelli and Fabio di Giannantonio are not listed.
Yamaha MotoGP test rider Augusto Fernandez will also be present, plus WorldSBK title runner-up Nicolo Bulega, who competed in the final MotoGP rounds of this season as Marc Marquez’s injury replacement at Ducati Lenovo.

Moreira and Supermoto champion Thomas Chareyre beat Rossi and brother Marini last year, with Elia Bartolini and Lorenzo Baldassarri in third.
