CREMONA CIRCUIT MADE IN USA: THE BAGGER RACING LEAGUE ARRIVES ON MAY 23/24

These are the races everyone is talking about: the ones that, starting this year, have even seen Harley-Davidson maxi bikes enter the MotoGP race weekend programme.

Spectacular races, but above all motorcycles that capture the curiosity of enthusiasts. Bikes born for the American highways, with over 2,000 cc and 180 horsepower, now able to perform on track, attracting the attention of everyone present with their size and unmistakable sound. And around these bikes, it is always a party… just like in true Yankee tradition.

The opportunity to see them on track is just around the corner. The Bagger Racing League Europe, the continental version of the American league, will take place on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May at Cremona Circuit. A dedicated paddock area will be reserved for custom motorcycles, where spectators will also be able to access with their own bikes and enjoy a village featuring rider tents always open to the public, music, food & drink, and much more.

Among the leading names of the season are several prestigious riders, including former Superbike and MotoGP riders Ruben Xaus and David Checa, Japanese rider Takeshi, Irish rider O’Grady, Swiss rider Marco Attanasio, Italians Andrea Tomio and Nazzareno Lumina, along with other riders who will be announced soon.

Ruben Xaus – President of Gestion a l’Instant: “The Bagger Racing League European Cup was created with the aim of bringing to Europe a new, spectacular format capable of combining sport, passion and entertainment. Cremona represents a very important stop for this project, after having also made its debut here in the previous edition: it is the first real appointment of the 2026 season, and the setting of the Trofei MotoEstate is ideal for presenting to the Italian and European public a different, exciting category with great growth potential. We are working to build something solid, professional and recognizable, and we are happy to do so together with partners who truly believe in this vision.”

Bruno Sandrini – Motoclub Sprinthouse: “Our goal is to offer events that can combine competition, passion and new opportunities for riders, teams and the public. The arrival of the Baggers in Cremona further enriches the weekend programme and confirms MotoEstate’s desire to look ahead, welcoming innovative formats capable of bringing value to the entire motorcycling movement. This is the second year for BRL in Cremona, and the feedback we are receiving on social media and through our communication channels is very positive: there is curiosity, interest and a strong desire to see these very special motorcycles up close. For this reason, we expect a large turnout, with a lively paddock and an atmosphere capable of making the weekend even more engaging.”

Federica Picchi, Regional Undersecretary for Sport and Youth, wished to express the value of the initiative, supported by Regione Lombardia: “I would like to express my great appreciation for the ability of the Cremona sporting world to increasingly attract events with an innovative vision. This is confirmed by the launch on its territory of the second edition of the Bagger Racing League European Cup, the new European championship dedicated to ‘baggers’, Harley-Davidson maxi bikes that are the stars of spectacular American races. Born in the USA and rapidly becoming both a media and sporting phenomenon, these motorcycle competitions landed in Europe for the first time last year, at Cremona Circuit, which for the second consecutive year is preparing to welcome innovation and success. As Regione Lombardia, we support every evolution of sport capable of exciting enthusiasts and the public.”

The Bagger Racing League will be the main event of a race weekend offering something for everyone, from the smaller 250 cc bikes up to the 1000 cc machines, as well as the Endurance formats, all part of the wide range of classes that make up the Trofei MotoEstate.

A different kind of weekend, designed for both enthusiasts and curious spectators, where alongside the action on track it will be possible to see all the bikes up close, walk through the paddock and its village, and enjoy a sandwich and a beer in true motorcycling style.

Entrance tickets will be available for purchase directly at the circuit on the day of the event.
