Sixth in the main race on Sunday at Le Mans, and seventh the day before in the Sprint, means that Fabio Di Giannantonio was the strongest rider of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team on track during the weekend in France.
After such a performance, DiGia seems to be getting along better and better with the Ducati Desmosedici GP23, and for the team manager of Valentino Rossi’s team, if it weren’t for the penalty suffered, a Long Lap, #49 could have done even better: ‘A positive weekend in some aspects, less in others. I am very happy and satisfied with what Fabio did, he was solid and on Sunday, if it weren’t for the long lap, he could have been alongside the strongest riders‘.
Nieto’s wish is for the rider to continue like this, as he is getting better and better, and believes that: ‘He is growing with the team and has to continue like this‘.
Oftentimes seen as a rider from a second tier among the Ducati elite, so to speak, the Italian rider himself left a question in the air when it comes to candidates for the Borgo Panigale factory team, quoted by Motosan:
– Why not me? We have to work a little, but that is also my goal in reality. When you are in MotoGP, you cannot aspire to be in the background; I want to improve to become the best in the world and have the best bike. However, the three are very strong [n.d.r. Marc Márquez, Jorge Martín, and Enea Bastianini].
Dies zeigt den Ehrgeiz der Italiener, mehr erreichen zu wollen, und es wird interessant sein zu sehen, wie es läuft, da DiGia in der letzten Hälfte des Jahres 2023 einer der Hauptfahrer von Ducati in Bezug auf Ergebnisse war, zu einer Zeit, als seine Zukunft in der Kategorie gefährdet war.
