100 years — I take in the weight of that number quietly. A small enterprise that sprouted in Bologna in 1926 has grown, across countless eras, into a brand fighting for the world's summit. Celebrating racing history at Misano on the anniversary of its founding, a nation etching its name onto a stamp. This is more than one company's celebration — it's part of the collective memory of Italy itself. The most beautiful example of a machine becoming culture stands right before us now.

It's odd that while they're celebrating 100 years of the internal-combustion engine, there's zero talk of an electric Ducati alongside it.

First time hearing of Race of Champions — is it like a festival race where past champions gather?

Yeah exactly, it's an exhibition race where past champions all ride together — always a stacked field.

A small workshop in Bologna becoming a world-leading manufacturer over 100 years is just a plain incredible story.

Holding Race of Champions at Misano on the exact founding date — that's an almost too-conscientious level of date matching.

A commemorative stamp is fine, but you can already see the 100th-anniversary marketing driving up limited-model prices.

Ducati's not the only one being commercially savvy — Harley put out a limited edition for the 250th anniversary too.

Founded in Bologna in 1926... back when I was riding a 916, I never imagined it'd still be going 100 years later.
