Many stars of two-wheeled racing will take part in the dirt track event, including masters of the discipline and road racers.

The participants are divided into two classes. The Superprestigio category will feature many of the above-mentioned WorldSBK riders along with Grand Prix Champions and top riders, whilst the Open class will see off-track professional riders by various disciplines along with road racing icon Guy Martin.
After Thursday and Friday’s free practice sessions, the riders will do their best to qualify for the Superfinal taking place on Saturday night at 9pm, involving the best riders from each of the two classes. The winner will be decided over twelve exciting laps and battle for supremacy between the various disciplines is expected to be once again a very close affair.
