Milan, Italy – Antonio Cairoli, the nine-time motocross world champion, is making headlines once again as he transitions from an illustrious racing career to his new role with Ducati. Cairoli, who is actively involved in the development of the Desmo450 MX bike, is set to make his American Supercross debut this weekend with the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati team.
During a recent appearance at the AIME Expo in Milan, Cairoli engaged with fans and media at the Airoh booth, reflecting on his ongoing involvement in motorsports. “It’s nice to discover new paths,” Cairoli said, emphasizing the synergy between the Italian brands he supports.
Cairoli has been instrumental in the development of Airoh helmets, stating, “I’ve been with Airoh all my career… we are quite happy to contribute to this made in Italy helmet.” His deep-rooted connection with the brand showcases his commitment to enhancing safety and performance for riders.
