Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Fabio Di Giannantonio amazed to join VR46 as a Ducati satellite team in the upcoming 2024 MotoGP.
Di Giannantonio was recruited by VR46 after MotoGP 23 to replace Luca Marini who moved to Honda until 2025.
In MotoGP next season, Di Giannantonio will partner Marco Bezzecchi, who graduated from the VR46 Academy.
Quoted from Corsedimoto, Di Giannantonio was very surprised by VR46’s decision to recruit him. The reason is that Di Giannantonio is not an alumni of Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Academy.
The report states that so far Di Giannantonio has not met The Doctor. However, the two of them talked to each other over the telephone.
“I want to meet him in person to thank him for his trust,” said Di Giannantonio.
“It’s always a pleasure to be with Valentino,” said Di Giannantonio.
The 25 year old racer also praised how things work at VR46. The former Gresini racer couldn’t wait to hear Rossi’s instructions.
“They are a solid working group, who I always admire for what they do. There is always something to learn from Valentino,” said Di Giannantonio.
The charm of VR46 never seems to disappear from Di Giannantonio. VR46 was also the one who ‘saved’ Di Giannantonio’s career after he was kicked out of Gresini after recruiting Marc Marquez.
After signing the collaboration with VR46, Di Giannantonio openly expressed his pride in working with Valentino Rossi.
“That [pakai motor Rossi] is something I still don’t understand. “For me, this is an extraordinary moment,” said Di Giannantonio.
“I am very proud of my future. I will ride one of Valentino Rossi’s motorbikes and this is extraordinary,” added Di Giannantonio.
