Fabio Di Giannantonio continues to ride a Ducati in the 2024 MotoGP season, but everything else changes as he has left Gresini and is now with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team. In any case, he is confident that he will have the means to be fast right from the start of the season.
The Italian said that, despite having to adapt to many differences, the first steps were encouraging and trouble-free: ‘Let’s say that for sure there are some news from my side: I’m changing colors, I’m changing the team, also the staff, and the bike is similar, but new for me. Honestly we don’t have issues. The new bike we’ve tried in Valencia is a bit better almost in every area, the team is fantastic – they’re super professional. And also my new staff is super good, the energy we had in Valencia was super cool. So the early start was so nice, they’ve a lot of knowledge’.
In this context, Di Giannantonio believes he can be competitive right from the start: ‘I’m quite sure that already in the first part of the season we can start in a good way. For sure it’s important to do good tests in Sepang and also in Qatar, but I think we’ll be ready to fight already in Qatar in the first race’.
