Set to be competitors on the road racing scene again in 2025, Isle of Man TT winners Michael Dunlop and Davey Todd will also battle it out at Valentino Rossi’s prestigious 100km of Champions event this month.
The two road racers are part of a star-studded list for the flat track race will also feature the impressive 2024 MotoGP rookie, Pedro Acosta.
The 2025 edition of the 100km of Champions race will take place on 10-11 January, and the entry list for the event was released last Friday. Alongside Dunlop who is the most successful racer at the Isle of Man TT is Todd, who became a two-time winner at the legendary road race in 2024.
The main race is a team event which Luca Marini and Rossi won in 2024, while Marini also won the solo Americana event. Rossi, who confirmed the arrival of a second daughter over the weekend, will take part in the event once again this year, alongside a long list of current MotoGP stars.
That list includes Acosta and Marini, two-time MotoGP title winner Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini, Marco Bezzecchi, Franco Morbidelli and Miguel Oliveira, while World Superbike stars Nicolo Bulega, Andrea Locatelli and 2025 rookie Ryan Vickers are also on the entry list.
A long list of Moto2 and Moto3 riders will also be in action at the event which has been running for more than a decade at Rossi’s ranch in Tavullia. For Todd, this year’s appearance at Rossi’s event is his first while many of the riders set to compete have been there before.
Alongside Dunlop, Todd and Vickers is the fourth and final British racer in Tim Neave, who will also be competing at the event.
The flat track circuit features an oval section which is the main area of the track, and two sections at the bottom end of the track which are a bit more tight and twisty.
