Ducati Racing Stock Multistrada At Pikes Peak, Then Riding It Home
Ducati bills the Multistrada as four bikes in one, being able to carve through the city, blast down the highway, slice through a twisty road, and even soldier on when the pavement stops and the dirt begins. To prove it, Ducati and Jamie Robinson, a former British racing champion and skilled rider in all disciplines, are taking a stock Multistrada 1200, and will ride it from Los Angeles, across Nevada, and through some shortcuts in Utah, en route to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, where Robinson will then stick some numbers on the bike and race it up the hill on Sunday, July 28.
The Multistrada holds the course record at Pikes Peak and has taken the top spot on the podium multiple times. Now, Robinson will put versatility of a virtually untouched Multistrada to the test.
“I’ve raced all over the world on all types of motor bikes and the Multistrada is one of the fastest, comfortable and most capable motorcycles I’ve ever ridden,” said Robinson. “We thought that taking a Multistrada right out of the showroom, riding it all the way from Los Angeles to race in Pikes Peak and then riding back home, would be a great way to show the world what the bike can do!”

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
