KUWAIT CITY, Nov 4: Ducati’s remarkable international racing season has added another chapter in Kuwait, where Masoud Behbehani has been crowned the 2026 Kuwait Motor Town (KMTC) SBK Super Stock Pro 1100cc champion.

Competing aboard his Ducati Panigale V4 S under race number 67, Behbehani secured the overall title after a determined, consistent championship campaign. A second-place finish in the fourth and final round on Friday, October 30, brought his season total to 85 points and secured the championship by 10 points.

The achievement comes in a landmark season for Ducati, whose Panigale machines have continued to dominate racing categories worldwide. From Ryo Mizuno’s JSB1000 success in Japan and Kyle Ryde’s British Superbike Championship to international victories in Euro Moto, Australian Superbike and the ARRC, Ducati has enjoyed an exceptional run of championship results.

At the highest level, Nicolò Bulega secured the WorldSBK Riders’ Championship, alongside Ducati’s Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles, while Darryn Binder claimed the MotoAmerica Supersport championship aboard the Panigale V2.

Now, Behbehani’s victory in Kuwait adds another achievement to the Panigale’s growing international racing legacy.

More than a motorcycle, the Panigale represents Ducati’s racing DNA, combining formidable V4 performance, advanced electronics, and race-derived engineering. In Behbehani’s hands, it proved the platform for a championship-winning season built on commitment, consistency and competitive determination.

For Behbehani, the title is a significant personal milestone and a proud achievement for Kuwait’s motorsport community.

These victories begin in Borgo Panigale, but riders around the world bring Ducati’s racing spirit to life on circuits worldwide.

And now, Masoud Behbehani has added his name to that story.
