Stefano Pezzuto won the 2026 Charity Race aboard the KOVE 800 Rally. He beat Johnny Aubert in the final, with Aubert competing on a KTM 890 Adventure R Rally. Kirian Mirabet completed the podium in third place on a Honda Transalp.

The race was held on Thursday, the opening day of the Charity Race, at EICMA’s outdoor MotoLive competition area. The event brought together 17 riders representing 17 different manufacturers, giving the contest a clearly multi-brand character rather than a single-make focus.

Its course combined fast and technical sections with a particularly difficult sand section. Free practice came first, followed by the Superpole and then a series of one-versus-one battles. That format ultimately produced the final pairing of Pezzuto and Aubert, with the KOVE rider taking the overall win.

MotoLive’s programme extended beyond the Charity Race, also featuring the Race of Champions, SuperEnduro, Supercross and Freestyle Motocross. EICMA 2026 occupied 10 exhibition halls and was presented as the largest edition in the event’s history, while the outdoor schedule added a substantial racing element to the motorcycle show.
