Fabio Di Giannantonio will be in MotoGP this year with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team. Thus, he will work for the first time with Valentino Rossi, believing to have a good opportunity to improve as a rider.
The Italian said in a press conference that he was not surprised by his new team: ‘It is true that I knew this was a super team, as you can see from their ten years. They have achieved many successes. When I joined, I had no particular surprises because in the end I knew it was a super team. We started well in Valencia, the staff was so good‘.
After a normal winter, Di Giannantonio expects the biggest differences to arise throughout the season, emphasizing having Valentino Rossi on the team as an essential advantage: ‘Honestly, the winter was very normal. There were no major changes on my part. During the year there will be some differences, because I can train more frequently at the Ranch and with the VR46 riders. So, it is certain that from my part it will be a huge opportunity to improve. And also having Valentino as a boss will be a huge help because I have the greatest of all time who can give us some advice. These are the main differences‘.
