Di Giannantonio starts from P4
Among the Ducatis chasing Marco Bezzecchi is also that of Fabio Di Giannantonio. The Roman finished the Aragón Grand Prix Qualifying in fourth place, confirming himself among the most competitive riders on the GP26.
Unlike other weekends, Diggia struggled to find rhythm, starting his Friday with a crash that made him lose time and confidence in the bike. The VR46 team rider stepped up during the Qualifying, easily securing Q2 and showing a top-5 pace. Number 49 will definitely be there to compete with the Marquez brothers, but he does not see the Aprilias behind, as one might have thought before, given that MotorLand is a Ducati track.
Di Giannantonio’s words
“It was a day a bit tougher than expected, this morning as soon as I got on track the feeling was not good at all and then I also crashed. Even with the other bike it took me a while to regain the old sensations“, these are Di Giannantonio’s words to Sky Sport MotoGP. “In the end it turned out to be a good thing because we went back to my Silverstone package: the bike worked very well and the feeling came back immediately“.
“Bezzecchi definitely had a great day, with the medium tire he was very fast and finally he did an excellent lap“, Di Giannantonio continued, talking about the weekend favorites. “Martin will also be there, he is fast and the team works well. I was expecting the two Marquez brothers at the top anyway, so I would say that for now everything has gone normally. I would not leave Aprilia out, absolutely“.
