Fabio Di Giannantonio arrives at the Le Mans circuit in 10th place in the championship. The Italian rider comes from a 7th place in Sunday’s race at the Jerez GP and with positive indicators from the tests where he ended up being the fastest rider.
In debrief, Di Giannantonio talked about the improvements since the tests in Jerez and the expectations he has for this weekend in France: ‘At the beginning of the season, I had the fastest race pace in Qatar, the difference on this bike is that the front end pulls a lot, but over time we managed to find a new setup to improve. In the tests, we found some parts to improve this aspect, so I hope it works here. We have been improving in small things, they are not big but the ones we improved helped a lot, version 23 has a lot of potential.’
Asked about the difference it will be to ride a bike according to the 2027 regulations compared to the current versions, Fabio replied: ‘It will be very interesting to ride those bikes and definitely different. The new engine will be different, the aerodynamics, but it will all be more normal, in general. I like to ride MotoGP bikes with the devices, I feel it’s like a Formula 1 but on two wheels. I think in the future it will also be very complex with the current regulations despite the new ones. At the beginning it will be easier than now, but I think there will be something as complex as we have now with the devices.’
