Fabio Di Giannantonio was very close to running out of space in MotoGP in 2024. On the eve of winning the 2023 Qatar GP, he had no contract for this year, and only then did the opportunity arise at VR46 Racing Team.
The Italian recalled that moment in an interview with the championship’s official website, talking about the attitude he had in a very unfavorable situation:
– On the Saturday after the Sprint race in Qatar, I was officially without a place in MotoGP for the following year. So, I was in our office with my assistant and Diego, and I said: “Well, let’s enjoy the last races, let’s give it our all, and let’s enjoy, guys. It’s over.”
Despite the tough moment, Di Giannantonio sought his strength to react, as he mentioned: ‘I felt very alone at that moment, and when you feel alone you always have to find your strength, your inner power. If you use that power in a good way, you can turn things around and that’s what happened‘.
