Fan1980 Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 He’s just won Ducatis first off road world championship round! That’s including all off road motorsports ie mx enduro ect. Ducati don’t just pick any one to represent them they obviously see Ashtons potential with his mx background. He won the meeting, set fastest times of the day, give Ducati motorcycles there first ever off road world win and has made history for both Ducati & his team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 On 5/12/2026 at 12:33 AM, andout said: Lots of the old "Humble Pie" being eaten on here...... I don't think there needs to be... Speedway is just another different discipline of motorcycling, and Ashton is obviously a very talented motorcyclist who can move across several motorcycle disciplines... He started off well in Speedway but clearly lost his way quite quickly given his short time in the sport... He definitely had the talent, as when in front coming out of turn two, could win races, and by some distance, the challenge for him seemed to be when other riders were around him.... That was when he would come off the throttle and let them past, or just drop further back if behind... No shame in not quite making it as a Speedway rider as countless others have tried and failed too... Who knows? Given his obvious technical aptitude he may give it another go, if not, at least he tried... Hopefully his new discipline sees him continually successful.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
