After almost being left out of MotoGP due to not having a place, Fabio Di Giannantonio found an opportunity to continue his career in 2024 with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team. Therefore, he will be working with Valentino Rossi, whom he admires greatly, not surprisingly.
Number 49 did not hide the strange feeling of having an idol as a boss, stating as quoted by SPEEDWEEK.com: ‘Of course, I have always admired him a lot, he is the greatest of all time. I approached Valentino’s world and VR46 with a lot of sobriety and modesty, I have always liked them a lot. Our relationship has always been very good and very honest, also between me and Valentino. The fact that I am now on the team and he is my boss is very strange, but strangely positive‘.
Even though he continues to ride a Ducati, Di Giannantonio will have to adapt to a new team, starting with chief mechanic David Muñoz, and admitted that he has a lot of work ahead of him: ‘There is certainly a lot to do, we need to get to know each other and understand how the VR46 team works. But the potential is there, the team is great, I am developing. So why wouldn’t it be possible to start where I left off?‘.
