A historic day in Switzerland for Ducati Corse Off Road and the Aruba.it - Ducati Factory MX Team, as they celebrated their first-ever podium finish in the FIM Motocross MXGP World Championship. Swiss rider Jeremy Seewer, the 30-year-old from Bülach - just 30 kilometres from the Frauenfeld track - secured third place overall at the MXGP Grand Prix of Switzerland, the sixth round of the championship held across Saturday and Monday.

"It’s insane - Ducati’s first podium is huge! We worked so hard, starting from zero, and these guys have reached such a high level. It’s amazing! And to do it here at home, my first MXGP podium on Swiss soil, with all these fans and in this beautiful weather - I think it’s the best day of my life! The second moto didn’t start well for me. I got hit by a rock in the leg and lost all feeling for over a lap, so I dropped back, but then the race came to me. I’m so happy, and I want to thank everyone at Ducati!"
