China rides Ducati! SPTCN26002

Today, the group met at our starting hotel in Florence. Twenty-one beautiful, red Ducati Multistradas and one nimble little Scrambler are lined up and ready for action. They don't seem to fear the intense heat wave hitting Italy right now, which is bringing some of the highest temperatures ever recorded for this period! We held our welcome briefing, introduced the upcoming adventure, and completed the motorcycle handover. Let's hope tomorrow brings a bit of a fresher breeze as we hit the road! ---------- 今天，骑士团在佛罗伦萨的始发酒店顺利集结。21辆亮丽的红色杜卡迪 揽途（Multistrada）和1辆灵巧的自游（Scrambler）已全部整装待发。面对近日席卷意大利、甚至刷新同期历史纪录的滚滚热浪，这支红色车队似乎毫无畏惧！我们顺利完成了欢迎简报会，向大家介绍了接下来的精彩行程，并完成了车辆交接。希望明天的骑行路上能迎来一丝清凉的微风！

Our hopes for cooler temperatures were not answered—another very hot day lay ahead of us! We left Florence, navigating the typical traffic of a normal working day, and took the fast road toward Pisa. Before reaching our final destination, however, we stopped for a refreshing break (drinking plenty of water was compulsory today!) and took a wonderful detour over Monte Serra. Once we arrived in Pisa, we managed to park the bikes close to the entrance of the Piazza dei Miracoli, meaning we didn't have to walk far in the heat to admire one of Italy's most famous landmarks: the Leaning Tower! We wrapped up our midday stop with a lunch in a cozy Chinese restaurant very close to the square... and then an authentic Italian gelato before hopping back on the bikes to head back to Florence! ---------- 很遗憾，我们渴望降温的愿望落空了——迎接我们的又是酷热难耐的一天！我们离开佛罗伦萨，穿过工作日早高峰的滚滚车流，随后驶上前往比萨的快速路。在抵达目的地之前，我们安排了一次惬意的休息调整（今天多喝水可是硬性任务！），并特意绕道前往塞拉山（Monte Serra）享受了一段精彩的山路骑行。抵达比萨后，我们幸运地将摩托车停在了离奇迹广场（Piazza dei Miracoli）入口不远的地方，让大家不必在烈日下长途步行就能轻松一睹意大利最著名的地标——比萨斜塔的迷人风采！午餐时间，我们选择了一家离广场非常近的温馨中餐厅，品尝了亲切的家乡味道……随后大家又品尝了地道的意大利手工冰淇淋（Gelato），这才心满意足地重新跨上战车，一路骑行返回佛罗伦萨！

Today, an absolute dream milestone for any Ducati fan around the world was awaiting us: we headed to Bologna to visit the legendary Ducati Museum! We had a great lunch in the employees' mess right alongside the factory workers, and then took a guided tour through the production lines to discover exactly how these two-wheeled beauties are made—from the raw engine assembly and frame matching all the way to final quality control. Of course, we spent quite a long time at the Ducati factory store, deeply enjoying the magnificent air conditioning (it was another very hot day!). And as if that weren't enough, we also have to mention our morning stop at the Mugello Circuit on our way to Bologna, standing at one of the true, sacred temples of world motorcycle racing. ---------- 今天，全球所有杜卡迪车迷梦寐以求的终极高光时刻来临了：我们启程前往博洛尼亚，参观了传奇的杜卡迪博物馆！我们非常荣幸地在员工餐厅里与工厂的工人们一同享用了午餐，随后在导游的带领下深入工厂内部进行参观，亲眼见证了这些两轮艺术品是如何诞生的——从发动机的组装、车架的匹配，一直到最终严苛的质量检测！之后，我们当然在杜卡迪官方旗舰店里逛了很久，顺便享受了一下救命的空调（今天依旧是酷热无比的一天！）。不仅如此，在前往博洛尼亚的途中，我们还在早晨特别打卡了穆杰罗赛道（Mugello Racetrack），那可是世界摩托车运动当之无愧的圣殿之一！

Today's ride took us to Siena, widely considered one of the prettiest cities in the whole country! To get there, we crossed the world-famous Chianti area that stretches between Florence and Siena, renowned for its rolling green hills, charming medieval villages, and iconic wines. We stopped in the lovely village of Greve in Chianti for a relaxing coffee break before pushing onward to Siena. Tomorrow is the historic Palio horse race on the Piazza del Campo, so the city center was absolutely packed with locals and visitors. Finding parking for 21 bikes was no easy task, but we managed it flawlessly! We enjoyed lunch in a cozy "typical" Chinese restaurant, spent some time exploring the historic streets, and then hopped back on our bikes. Our final stop was in the beautiful fortified village of Radda in Chianti before finally returning to Florence. Tomorrow we move to Rimini—the WDW is getting closer, stay tuned! ---------- 今天的骑行带我们来到了锡耶纳，它被公认为整个意大利最美丽的城市之一！一路上，我们穿越了横跨佛罗伦萨与锡耶纳之间的世界级红酒圣地——基安蒂（Chianti）地区。这里以起伏翠绿的山峦、迷人的古老村落和闻名遐迩的优质美酒而著称。我们先在温馨的格雷韦因基安蒂小镇停靠，享受了一段悠闲的咖啡时光，随后便直奔锡耶纳。明天，著名的传统赛马节（Palio）就将在市中心的田野广场（Piazza del Campo）盛大开幕，因此整座城市的核心区域人山人海。要为21辆摩托车找到一处合适的停放点绝非易事，但我们配合默契，完美搞定！午餐时，我们再次走进一家温馨的中餐厅享用美食，并在饭后留出时间带大家深度游览了这座历史名城。在踏上返回佛罗伦萨的归途前，我们最后一站打卡了风景如画的古老山村拉达因基安蒂。明天我们将启程前往里米尼——世界杜卡迪周（WDW）正在悄然临近，请持续关注我们的动态！

After three riding days in Tuscany, the time had come to move to our next Italian region: Emilia-Romagna! Dark clouds looked quite threatening as we started our morning ride, and some heavy rain came pouring down as we approached the Apennine mountains. Honestly, it was a welcome refreshment after so much intense heat in the previous days! We tackled the winding curves of Passo della Consuma and then, after passing through Bibbiena, we crossed deep into the heart of the mountain range. We stopped for a quiet lunch in the small village of Badia Tedalda before beginning our descent toward Tavullia, the world-famous hometown of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi! A stop at the official VR46 fan shop was absolutely mandatory before we covered the final kilometers to Rimini. And, of course, as soon as we left the mountains behind, the coastal weather became hot and sunny all over again! ---------- 在托斯卡纳度过了三个精彩的骑行日后，是时候前往意大利的下一个地区——艾米利亚-罗马涅了！清晨出发时，低垂的乌云显得颇有威胁，当车队接近亚平宁山脉时，一场暴雨倾盆而下……不过，在经历了前几天的滚滚热浪之后，这场大雨反倒让我们感到格外清凉舒爽！我们成功征服了Passo della Consuma的蜿蜒山路，随后在穿过比比埃纳（Bibbiena）后正式开始横跨这座雄伟的山脉。我们在古朴的小村庄Badia Tedalda享用了安静 class 的午餐，接着便一路向下，朝着世界著名的MotoGP传奇车手瓦伦蒂诺·罗西（Valentino Rossi）的故乡——塔武利亚进发！在前往最终目的地里米尼之前，去罗西的官方粉丝文创店打卡是我们的雷打不动的必选项目。当然，正如所料，一旦我们走出了山区，沿海的天气便再次变得烈日炎炎、酷热无比！

The weather was absolutely perfect today! We started our morning enjoying breakfast with a fabulous view of the Adriatic Sea while the guide team organized all the event admission wristbands for our guests. Later, we visited the Edelweiss booth at the venue, where we met up with another colleague who gave an entertaining and fascinating presentation about the world’s largest motorcycle tour operator, "Edelweiss Bike Travel." But then, it was time to head back to the hotel, gear up, and unlock the ultimate highlight of the tour. We rode in a massive motorcycle convoy, accompanied by our support van, straight toward Misano. The atmosphere was electrifying. Every single Ducatista we encountered greeted our group, while locals and tourists lined the streets waving at us. It was a truly unforgettable moment! Upon arriving at the Misano World Circuit, we quickly parked the bikes, and our riders fanned out to experience the massive array of activities at World Ducati Week. At 7:30 p.m., one of the weekend's biggest highlights arrived: we rode directly onto the historic racetrack and then joined the massive Corso parade through the streets of Misano! Thousands upon thousands of Ducatis formed a breathtaking, endless sea of red motorcycles—a spectacle you simply MUST see at least once in your life. Even though our group got a little mixed up in this beautiful "anthill" of red bikes, everyone navigated their way back perfectly, and we rode together back to the Hotel Imperiale in Rimini. But the day wasn't over yet! One highlight follows another on an Edelweiss tour. For dinner, we hopped on a few bikes and into our van and headed to Riccione for the legendary Ducati Beach Party, enjoying a cool drink with our toes in the sand. What a spectacular day—admittedly, we are all a bit exhausted, but an experience-packed milestone like WDW 2026 doesn't happen every day. We are already looking forward to tomorrow for another incredible day in the heart of the Ducati universe! ---------- 明媚的阳光，完美的天气！清晨，伴着亚平宁半岛绝美的亚得里亚海景，我们一边享用着丰盛的早餐，一边由向导团队为车友们统一换领好了大会的入场手环。随后，我们前往活动现场的 Edelweiss 展位，与另一位在这里驻守的同事顺利汇合，他为大家带来了一场关于全球最大摩托车旅行运营商——“Edelweiss Bike Travel（阿尔卑斯摩托车旅行）”生动有趣的精彩宣讲。接着，激动人心的时刻到了，我们返回酒店集结车友，准备去解锁本次骑行之旅的最燃高光时刻！ 我们组成庞大的摩托车骑行车队，在后勤保障车的伴随下，浩浩荡荡地直奔米萨诺（Misano）。沿途的狂欢氛围简直让人热血沸腾！一路上遇到的所有杜卡迪铁粉（Ducatisti）都热情地向我们这支中国车队挥手致意，当地居民和游客也纷纷驻足在街头为我们欢呼。这绝对是一个令人终生难忘的荣耀瞬间！抵达米萨诺赛道后，我们迅速停好车辆，车友们便迫不及待地开启了“自由探索模式”，去深度体验世界杜卡迪周（WDW）那令人眼花缭乱的丰富活动。 晚上 19:30，本次盛会的重头戏之一震撼登场：我们的车队直接驶入了传奇的专业赛道，随后加入了横穿米萨诺市中心的巡游大车队（Corso）！成千上万辆杜卡迪汇聚成了一片望不到边际的红色机车海洋——这绝对是一生中必须要亲眼见证一次的震撼奇观！虽然在宛如“红色蚁巢”般密集的巡游车流中，我们的队伍被冲散打乱了，但好在大家默契十足，最终全部顺利会师，一同骑行返回了位于里米尼的 Imperiale（帝国）酒店。 然而，精彩还在继续，在 Edelweiss 的行程中，高潮总是一波接一波。晚餐时分，我们跨上几辆机车并开上保障车，集体前往里乔内（Riccione）去参加充满激情的杜卡迪沙滩派对（Ducati Beach Party），在沙滩上吹着海风、享受着冰爽的饮品。这真是无与伦比的一天——不可否认，大家现在都有些疲惫，但像 2026 世界杜卡迪周这样内容拉满、体验爆棚的世纪盛会可不是天天都能遇上的。我们已经开始疯狂期待明天，去迎接在杜卡迪红色宇宙中的又一个精彩日子了！

Another perfect day in Rimini, and another incredible day immersed in World Ducati Week! The morning kicked off with an optional ride to the stunning medieval fortified village of Gradara. From there, we pushed on to Pesaro, where we hopped onto the breathtaking Strada Panoramica coastal road, carving our way back through Gabicce Mare and into Rimini. Since most of our guests were still happily exhausted from the epic beach party the night before, the tour guide team ended up enjoying this spectacular loop as a sweet "private" ride! Back in Rimini, we gathered the group together and headed straight to the Misano World Circuit. The schedules at WDW are absolutely packed with action, and today we got to watch the thrilling qualifying sessions for the highly anticipated Race of Champions! We spent the rest of the day checking out the official exhibition stands, admiring thousands of stunningly customized Ducatis, and soaking up the magical, high-octane atmosphere before finally heading back to the hotel for a well-deserved dinner. Another truly great day in the books! ---------- 又是里米尼风和日丽的一天，我们也继续沉浸在世界杜卡迪周（WDW）的狂欢之中！清晨的自选行程带我们前往了充满传奇色彩的格拉达拉（Gradara）中世纪防御古村。随后车队抵达佩萨罗（Pesaro），驶上了令人屏息的全景海滨公路（Strada Panoramica），一路劈弯穿过加比切马雷（Gabicce Mare）返回里米尼。由于大多数车友在前一晚的沙滩派对后还在甜蜜的梦乡中休整，向导团队最终独享了这段风景绝佳的“私享”骑行线！ 回到里米尼后，我们集结全团，直奔米萨诺赛道。世界杜卡迪周的日程安排得满满当当，今天我们有幸在现场观看了万众瞩目的王中王争霸赛（Race of Champions）的精彩排位赛！其余时间，大家结伴穿梭于各大官方展位，欣赏着数以千计、改装精美绝伦的杜卡迪重机，尽情呼吸着这属于摩托车世界的魔法般狂热氛围，直到傍晚才返回酒店享用晚餐。这又是大获全胜、精彩绝伦的一天！

Unfortunately, the last day of the tour had arrived, but it would give us some of our best memories. During the morning briefing, the group was split into two: those who wanted to stay at WDW to watch the Race of Champions and return to Rimini via the highway, and those who preferred to take things a bit slower and enjoy some beautiful roads. The second group started with a visit to the Republic of San Marino, although without stopping in the old town. We rode through several switchbacks before crossing the border back into Italy, where we took the mandatory photo with the border sign. After a quick coffee stop in the beautiful old town of San Leo, we got back on our motorbikes and enjoyed some spirited riding on the way to Santa Sofia, where we had lunch at Ristorante La Nocina. In typical Italian style, the owner wanted to make sure we were well fed, so he served us very generous portions—even after we insisted that we had already eaten more than enough. But the best was still to come. We arrived at the legendary Passo del Muraglione, where we sat down to enjoy the view over a coffee, when a true Ducatisti moment unfolded. Seeing that we were all riding Ducatis, some members of the DoC from Caltanissetta approached us to share stickers from their club and celebrate our shared passion for the brand. Despite the cultural differences and the communication challenges, one thing was certain: the passion for Ducati knows no borders! ------ 遗憾的是，旅程的最后一天还是到来了，但这一天却为我们留下了许多最美好的回忆。 在早晨的行程说明会上，大家被分成了两组：一组选择留在 WDW 观看 Race of Champions，并经由高速公路返回里米尼；另一组则希望放慢节奏，尽情享受沿途那些风景优美、充满乐趣的道路。 第二组首先前往圣马力诺共和国，不过并没有在老城区停留。我们沿着一连串蜿蜒的发夹弯骑行，随后越过边境返回意大利，并按照惯例在边境标志前拍了一张合影。接着，我们在风景如画的圣莱奥古城稍作停留，喝了一杯咖啡，然后重新骑上摩托车，尽情享受前往圣索菲亚的精彩山路，并在 La Nocina 餐厅享用午餐。老板充分展现了典型的意大利待客之道，坚持要让我们吃得饱饱的，因此端上了一份又一份分量十足的菜肴——即使我们一再表示已经吃得够多了。 然而，最精彩的时刻还在后面。我们抵达了传奇般的穆拉廖内山口（Passo del Muraglione），正坐下来一边欣赏美景、一边品尝咖啡时，一个真正属于 Ducatisti 的时刻发生了。看到我们全都骑着 Ducati，来自卡尔塔尼塞塔的 Ducati Official Club（DoC）成员主动走过来，与我们交换俱乐部贴纸，并共同分享对这一品牌的热爱。尽管彼此存在文化差异，也有一些语言沟通上的困难，但有一点毋庸置疑：对 Ducati 的热爱，没有国界！
