The first round of the season is almost there and it will happen again in Qatar, the track where the MotoGP riders were in the last tests. Fabio Di Giannantonio who debuted on the wins at Losail last season wants to be in contention once again but sees Francesco Bagnaia in a very good shape.
Asked about what is to come to a race and the people thinking if he can ‘do it again’, the rider replied: ‘It’s not strange. I always say that pressure is for priviledged people because it means that you can do it, and I love this pressure, this kind of pressure, but you also have to be realistic. At the moment seems the factory guys have something more, they really seem on top form, super strong, specially Pecco [Bagnaia]’.
Still it is his desire to be well, competitive, and fighting for the podium, he assured: ‘Anyway I think we are in a good position, where we can fight for the podium at the moment so for sure I will give it a try and then we will see’.
This will be third season at MotoGP, the first with Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, after two years with Gresini Racing.
