Fabio Di Giannantonio found himself in a difficult situation when it was revealed that Marc Marquez was moving to Gresini, thus missing out on the opportunity to make a reunion with the team next year. However, Diggia is optimistic about the future, as he believes he has the pace to be on the grid next season as well.
Fabio Di Giannantonio is in his second year at Gresini. But next year, he will not be a member of the team, as Marc Marquez will take his place. Di Giannantonio is forced to leave the team despite his best MotoGP result the previous week, a respectable fourth place in Indonesia. Moreover, he managed to do so while, by his own account, the rumors that preceded Marquez’s move made it difficult for him to focus on racing. Before competing in Australia, he also spoke about how the past months have been full of uncertainty.
“I’m always trying to improve myself and become faster. It wasn’t easy [az elmúlt időszak]But that’s part of the game. Our goal – and let’s say it’s also our revenge – is to be fast on the right track. We are working for the future, and I am sure my employees are doing a good job. Of course, the goal is survival. “At the moment, I have an offer from the racetrack bar,” the 25-year-old competitor joked.
“I proved to myself and everyone that I was fast enough to stay in the field. As I said, my crew is working from home and we will see what they come up with in the next two race weekends. I am 100% focused on the field.”
For Degia to become a member of the field again next year, a seat must be found, and with Marquez gone, a seat will certainly be made available for him at Honda, for which according to Crash.net he and Miguel Oliveira are the most likely candidates. The newspaper justifies this by saying that Johann Zarco is committed to the LCR Honda team, and Maverick Vinales rejected speculation that he would contract with a Japanese team again.
Officially: Zarco’s career in LCR will continue from 2024
“Our chances seem slim, we’ll see what happens. Right now it looks like Honda has a seat, and if Repsol Honda has a seat, why wouldn’t they want one? However, you never know that in this pasture, there might be more options,” he said. Di Giannantonio: “Once the picture is clear, we will try to evaluate which project is best for my style and future.”
The Rome-born second-year MotoGP driver also answered a question about whether there were plans for another series. The Superbike World Championship and Moto2 have also been mentioned as potential alternatives, but Di Giannantonio has stated he does not want to leave the big boys.
“My manager must definitely come up with a plan B, C, D or something else. For my part, we discussed focusing on the MotoGP World Championship, and the goal is to continue here. We will consider other options only when we are sure that we cannot remain in the king category.” “But the main goal at the moment is the MotoGP World Championship.”
