MotoGp, Di Giannantonio promises: “We would like to annoy Pecco and Marc”

Bologna, 9 December 2024 – Ducati he just won the world title with a satellite team, but with a fully updated bike, and who knows, maybe there could be a surprise in 2025 too. Fabio Di Giannantonio wants to follow in Jorge's footsteps Martin, obviously starting under the radar since all the attention is on the alleged dualism between Pecco bagnaia and Marc MarquezThe VR 46 rider, and he should not be underestimated, will have a GP25 at his disposal, just like the two official riders, in exactly the same condition as Jorge. Martin in the last two seasons. A great opportunity for Diggia to show off his qualities and play it out after relaunching his career with the victory in Qatar 2023. There, the paddock understood that Fabio had great talent and that it would not be appropriate to underestimate him. This season in Pertamina he suffered a bit with a 2023 bike that was not entirely competitive like the 2024s, Marquez aside, and on top of that there was the shoulder injury that forced him to undergo surgery, missing the last races, but now everything is fine and Diggia can't wait to get on the Gp25.

I want to annoy Bagnaia and Marquez

The VR46 rider was unable to take part in the Barcelona tests at the end of the season, following his shoulder operation, but in February he will get on the new bike, switching from the 2023 to the 2025 one, becoming a prominent option in the upper part of the standings as happened with Martin in the two years at Pramac. A great chance for Di Giannantonio who can't wait to try the new Desmosedici: "Now I'm fine and the recovery is proceeding quickly - Di Giannantonio told GpOne - This is a fundamental period of the year to prepare for the next season and I have already started the rehabilitation on my shoulder. It's a demanding moment but I can't wait to try the bike".

Diggia wants to immediately understand the feeling with the 2025 prototype and will start with the same conditions as Marquez e bagnaia: “There have been very positive comments from those who have tried the 2023 and then the 2025 – Di Giannantonio again – The aim will be to optimise my riding style to get the most out of the package. There will be a period of adaptation but I expect to start from an excellent working base”. For the Pertamina rider, however, it is a great opportunity to be able to ride the same bike as the two favourites.

The goal is to be the troublemaker who starts from an outsider condition: “It’s a great chance, an opportunity to become an even better rider – Diggia concludes – At the same time it’s a great responsibility, but we can have a lot of fun and we’ll try to be outsiders. We’ll try to be a pain in the ass”. Next tests in February, while the start of the season will be in Thailand from February 28 to March 2. Everyone against Marquez and Bagnaia.
