Wedding's bike collection with Rossi and Marquez machines to be auctioned

A motorcycle collection linked to former Olympian snowboarder Ryan Wedding is due to go under the hammer, featuring bikes ridden by Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez, Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo. The collection reportedly comprises 61 bikes from manufacturers including Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, MV Agusta, Suzuki and Yamaha, with an estimated 10 to 15 of them being MotoGP prototypes or WorldSBK-spec machines.

Wedding was arrested in Mexico and transferred to the United States in January 2026 to face federal charges. US authorities accuse him of running a cocaine trafficking operation linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, as well as being connected to organised crime and multiple drug-related murders. The motorcycles were uncovered during raids in Mexico City and the nearby Mexico state last December.

The Institute to Return the Stolen to the People (INDEP) will conduct the auction on November 11, with bids starting at around 1,600 US dollars (about £1,200).
