Antonio Cairoli joins us for Chapter 382, and this is a special one. Antonio is a true legend of motocross, a 9 time World Champion who raced head to head with nearly every defining name of the past 20 years and helped shape an entire era of the sport. In this chapter, Tony walks us through his journey from growing up in Sicily, Italy, to becoming one of the most dominant riders motocross has ever seen, reflecting on his rise to the top, his championship years with KTM, winning multiple world titles on the 350, and the fiercest rivalries that pushed him to greatness.

Now stepping into a new role with Ducati, Tony continues to give back to the sport that gave him everything, carrying forward his Italian heritage while helping shape the future of motocross through experience, leadership, and legacy.
