100 Km dei Campioni at Valentino Rossi’s Ranch: the entry list

Yesterday, the entry list for the 11th edition of the 100 Km dei Campioni was released. The now traditional pairs dirt track race is scheduled for Friday 28 and Saturday 29 November 2025. It takes place on the unique track of Valentino Rossi’s Ranch in the hills of Tavullia, Italy, a layout unlike anything else in the world: two connected concentric ovals, downhill and uphill turns, a long outer section with mixed bends, blind corners and significant elevation changes.

Competing in this dirt track paradise – calling it a flat track circuit would be reductive – will be 23 two-rider teams, so 46 riders, obviously. Among them, in addition to the familiar faces of the 100 Km dei Campioni, several prominent names from the world of track racing have been invited: Dan Bewley and Chris Holder, SpeedwayGP top riders, Tim Neave – who needs no introduction for Flat&Left followers – and multiple flat track world champion Francesco Cecchini.

These flat track specialists will face a stunningly high-profile entry list: the hosts Valentino Rossi and Luca Marini, fellow MotoGP riders of the VR46 Riders Academy such as Marco Bezzecchi and Francesco Bagnaia, the very fast Elia Bartolini, already a TT race winner in the flat track world championship, supermoto king Thomas Chareyre, Australian Jack Miller, also with strong dirt track roots, TT legend Guy Martin, and multiple enduro world champion Andrea Verona.

As always, the race programme for the 11th edition of the 100 Km dei Campioni includes free practice sessions – the Ranch circuit takes quite a few laps to memorize – the elimination-style American Challenge on Friday night, and the actual 100 Km endurance race on Saturday.
