The TBA is an exclusive and advanced course that focuses on extreme riding techniques. On each of the academy’s four dates, participants will get the unique opportunity to ride with the Australian and learn specialised track craft at Misano and Mugello. The bike of choice is the 1199 Panigale S equipped with racing kit components, including complete Termignoni exhaust system, Ducati Performance aero kit and additional carbon fibre parts.
DRE also offers intermediate and basic courses, as well as two tiers of ‘Racing’ tuition. The intermediate course is specially designed to improve participants existing road-riding skills and techniques, while enhancing overall motorcycle safety awareness. The course uses the Monster 1100 EVO, the new Multistrada 1200 with semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension, and the new generation Hypermotard, all three models equipped with ABS and traction control. Intended for those riders who are completely new to motorcycling, the basic course provides one-on-one tuition in the paddock area of each event venue using the Monster 796.
