Fabio Di Giannantonio was unable to report any recent news regarding his future, but at the moment he does not want to think about the Moto2 or Superbike World Championships. The distraught Gresini driver revealed that he was set to continue his career at Honda, and that the VR46 was also a possibility.
While there are reports that Luca Marini will succeed Marc Marquez at Factory Honda, Fabio Di Giannantonio’s situation is becoming more and more hopeless in terms of continuing in the MotoGP World Championship. It seems very likely that the Italian rider will not have a place in MotoGP in 2024, and this could become official soon.
Everything turns upside down again: Marini can still be runner-up at Honda, whose boss led everyone
But a few weeks ago, he could forecast developments more optimistically, even stating in Thailand that he might have good news in Sepang. Although he didn’t say it, he definitely thought he would sign with Honda by then, but it didn’t happen. As a result, it remains questionable where his path will lead.
“No news guys – He answered the question he asked himself, having guessed that this would be the first topic anyway. – There are still two vacant places in MotoGP, but I think we will all find out in a few hours [a versenyzők kilétét]. I asked carefully [mindenkit]To stay alone until Sunday Whatever the outcome, because I just want to focus on the race, the rest is too stressful for me in the long run. There are always more surprises. “I hope I can provide serious answers to your questions in Valencia.”
DrGiannantonio has undoubtedly progressed compared to his first season last year in the King category and was able to stand on the podium for the first time in his career in Australia. That’s why he’s particularly angry because he’s sure to lose his seat. From there, his path could certainly lead to Moto2 or the World Superbike Championship, but he doesn’t want to think about that at the moment.
“Not right now, maybe in a few weeks – He answered a question about the Intermediate Machinery category of the Speedway Championship. – I don’t want to see this as an option, because I really deserve to stay in MotoGP as a permanent driver. It’s a strange situation. Since so much has happened, I don’t deserve this, that’s why I’m upset. This is my second year in MotoGP and I have achieved all the expected results. A Moto2 bike would be a step back for me. Also, the World Superbike Championship is not currently an option. At 25 years old, I am at my best as a rider and I can continue to improve in the MotoGP Championship.
Marini: I’m not in an easy situation
DrAnd Giannantonio He stayed abroad in the five weeks leading up to the Malaysian Grand Prix, but after the Sepang race he flew home before arriving in Qatar, but said there was not much to worry about. “No, there were no important meetings – He confirmed. – I just wanted to go back to bed for a few nights.
the In addition to Moto2 and the Superbike World Cup, there is also the possibility that Di Giannantonio will be a test driver and therefore participate in at least a few weekends. However, the 25-year-old biker is trying to bring a performance to the table in the last two weekends to impress one of the manufacturers or teams.
“That’s not really an option right now – The role of the test pilot is indicated. – However, if I’m not on the grid in 2024, we can build something that way by 2025. I hope to be a MotoGP rider in 2024 as well. I’ve already been on the podium, and now I’m determined to have you here in Valencia the Fight for victory, or at least try. this yearDeutschmarkMy characters will forever be written in history books. And if I were now fighting for a MotoGP contract for myselfRThen I will fight next year as well.”
DrGiannantonio then recalled the events of the past month and a half. It turns out that in addition to the fact that he was not far away from a move to factory Honda, the VR46 was also discussed, but team principal Alessio “Uccio” Salucci said last week that they were thinking about young riders. The Italian pilot’s last words reveal that his situation is completely hopeless with regard to the MotoGP World Championship.
Marc Marquez announced new information about his successor, and was surprised by Honda’s decision
“It was like a domino effect – It is to explain. – First, Mark left Honda, which was the first big surprise, because he had been the most successful pair in MotoGP for eleven years. The second domino fell when he joined my team. I was then offered the Honda seat, but now it looks like another driver will get it. We were close, but then they wanted someone else. This was the third domino. Then another one I had a promising opportunity because I have great respect for the VR46 team. However, another candidate seems to be favored there as well. This will be the fourth domino. This means that all seats are sold out. Mark started the story, then the snowball got bigger and bigger and my place in motorcycling was buried underneath it.
