Ducati Pittsburgh and Mosites Motorsports have announced that 16-year-old Ryder Davis will compete in the full 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship aboard a Ducati Panigale V2, beginning with his debut at the Daytona 200.

At just 16 years and five months old, Davis will be one of the youngest riders in the Supersport field as he steps onto the national stage for his rookie season in the class.

The program represents a continued investment in rider development and Ducati’s presence in the highly competitive middleweight category. The Ducati Panigale V2 platform has proven to be a strong contender in Supersport competition, and the team has been preparing for the transition to full-time MotoAmerica competition.

“Ryder has worked hard for this opportunity,” the team said. “He has shown steady progression, strong racecraft, and the maturity required to compete at this level. We’re looking forward to seeing him take the next step in Supersport.”

The season opens with the Daytona 200 at Daytona International Speedway, one of the most prestigious events in American road racing. The race will mark Davis’s Supersport debut and the beginning of his first full MotoAmerica campaign.

Davis will contest the entire 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport season with Ducati Pittsburgh and Mosites Motorsports as the team continues building its presence in the championship.
