Two-time MotoGP champion, Casey Stoner got a chance to participate at the DRE Enduro, an off-road riding course hosted by Ducati. The riding school is held in Florence, Italy and includes obstacle simulations organized by former Dakar racer and event director, Beppe Gualini.

"I don’t have words to explain my weekend. It’s been awesome! The Frescobaldi family estate [where Stoner and family stayed] is really something special and it’s so beautiful to look out of the hotel window over most of Tuscany. It’s a perfect place for a riding experience like the DRE Enduro," said Stoner. "Basically you can’t really explain to people how good the Multistrada 1200 Enduro is - you just have to experience it. I’ve spent enough time on dirt-bikes in my life and riding such a big bike can be a little bit daunting at first, but after a couple of hours on the bike I was already very comfortable, and then I realized that you can basically go wherever you want to. I started to push pretty hard in the end and the bike responded to everything I did. Some of the trails got very steep and rocky but the bike never lost its footing and felt safe over every obstacle. This bike is truly exceptional - off-road, I believe it's second to none," he added.
