Di Giannantonio is the unfortunate victim of Marquez’s will to quit Repsol Honda in favour of teaming with his brother Alex Marquez in ♎2024 in the Ducati satellite team.

He spent weeks hearing rumours of his inevitable axing bef🦋ore it was confirmed.

“I was so sad! So sad,” di Giannantonio told .

“I really put eveꦯrything into this team. Because I really wanted to achieve the 𓆏main goal with this team.

“But, then, the other side? Marc Marquez is the game. We a♌re perfectionists so this can happen.

“It is normal that [there is] a market.

“I di🌸dn’t like how the team managed the situation, honestly.

“They could have had more trust in me, honestly.

“In me, and [crew chief Frankie Carchedi], and our work. And they could have waited a little bit 🥀mo🦋re, honestly.

“Marc is coming. He’❀s the best he🦩re. Eight-time world champion.

“It’s fine. It is what it is…”

"It's a risk" to ignore other offers

Di Giannantonio, since his exit from Gresini was confirmed, has enjoyed a f𓄧ine run of form.

He was fourth in India the🌠n on the podium for the first time in Australia last weekend.

Those performances give di Giannantonio hope that he could snatch a last-gasp second-chance to keep his MotoGP career alive.

Marquez’s Repsol Honda is the only available bike in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 MotoGP rider line-up but, should they recruit Miguel Oliveira, then ꦡan opportunity crops up at RNF.

Di Giannantonio hasn’t thought about Moto2 or World Superbikes yet: “At this moment, we just had to [get] results bec💟ause we don’🉐t have anything for next year. Nothing for the future.

൲꧒“Let’s focus on the results then we’ll see. If we do good things, then good things will come. No?

“It’s what we’re trying to do, at the moment.

“At the mo𝕴ment, I neverꦆ took into consideration other options in other classes because the goal is to stay in MotoGP.

“Once I am 100% sure that I🦹 cannot be in MotoGP, I will con☂sider other things.

“It’s a risk bu🍸t I want to take this risk for MotoGP.

“At the moment, I don’t have a clear plan.”

The past few weeks, caught up in the frenzy꧋ around Marquez, have bee𓄧n horrible for di Giannantonio.

“This period has been tough, in a way,” he said.

“On-track I am super happy🃏 about what I’m doing this year.

“I’m growing so much, doing things that last year I was 🎉not capable of.

“To improve like this, to arrive step-by-step…

“Outside of this? Everything about 🦄kicking me off for next season.”

In India꧋ he broke down in tears after finishing fourth and was consoled by Ducati’s Paolo Ciabatꦉti.

“I saw my dreams [going] away,” he reflected.

“I reached a little goal, to be closer to the front. In parc ferme in tꦗhat moment, it was revenge.

“But on myself. Not to anyone. Just😼 to myself. With some tea🧸rs!”

'Frankie Carchedi one of the best and most professional'

His crew chief, Franki⛎e Carchedi, who won the 2020 champ🙈ionship with Joan Mir at Suzuki, will work alongside Marquez next year.

“I worked with a few crew chiefs 🦋in my life,” di Giannantonio said.

“Frankie is one of the best and most professional guys🧜 that I have worked with.

“Sometimes we think the same thing. It h🏅elps a lot🧸.

“I𒈔 was on track thiꦺnking ‘maybe I need this’. I came to the box and said ‘Frankie, I need this…’

“‘Perfect, let’s try…’

“It makes faster steps.”

Last year was di Giaꦬnnantonio’s first in the premier class, aℱ season where snatching pole position at his home race, the Italian MotoGP, was a highlight.

“It was an amazing, a pole posi🦄t🎀ion in my rookie year in front of a home crowd,” he said.

“We built the team, honestly, together from zero.

“It was a [🎶big] step. The team was completely new.

“It ruined the year! I was a rookie, my technicians were rookies. So it w♉as difficult to be against the best in the business with a full r🦩ookie team.”
