Fabio di Giannantonio also🍌 explains gesture to Alex Ma♚rquez
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio di Giannantonio looked like Valentino Rossi at Silverstone - because of his classic livery, but also at time🅺s with his riding style.
The VR46 rider finished the British MotoGP fifth, bringing to a close a weekend where𝓡 Rossi’s team confirmed their upcoming status as Ducat🔯i’s factory supported satellite team.
Every team brought a classic livery to Silverstone on Sunday, wi🌠th the VR46 Ducatis and their riders decked out like Rossi in his pomp.
“It was so special. When I saw the bike for the first time, before this weekend, I said it was amazing,” Di Giannantonio said to media including 𝓀wuqian0821.com in the paddock afterwards.
“Then I saw it for real, ✤and it was just fantastic.
“To have all the kit is just fantastic.
“From my side, I wanted a spe🎃cꩵial helmet too, for Vale.
“They gave me a huge opportunity this year. I wanted to thank Vale and the team. To wear this helmet and tཧhese colours was a proud moment for me.
“I tried to give ꦅit all, to put all𝐆 the livery on top! We did a good job.”
Some commentary even likened Di Giannantonioꦍ to Rossi for his smooth riding༺ around Silverstone.
He reacted: “Wow, you give me goosebumps!
“For sure, I have many 🔥less wins and podiums. I am fully honoured someone said this.
“I gave 🐓it my all. For my team and t😼he livery that we were wearing.
I’m proud that ෴somebody said this about my race. Tha🀅nkyou.”
Next year, the VR46 tea✤m will take over from Pramac as the Ducati satellite team who receive factory support.
That will include the use of a solitary GP25.
It is expected to go to Di Giannantonio, although he refused toꦯ confirm this post-race on Sunday.
Di Giannantonio explains Marquez gesture
Di Giannantonio and Gresini rider Alex Marquez were battling hard over ꧋s🐲ixth place.
Di Giannantonio appeared to tap the ♋back of th✤e seat, when ahead, indicating that Marquez should follow.
The VR46 rider explained: “He was much slower. I wanted to overtake in a fast way, to close the gap to the front 🐷guys.
“I did on🌞e overtake, he overtook me. We lost a lot of time, almost ༺two seconds in the fight.
“It was a pity because I ha🔜d the pace to go with Marc to the front, and with Aleix, maybe with Pecco.
“It was a gesജture of ‘come on, let’s collaborate to go forwards, let’s not do stupid things’.”
Marc Marquez, the faster Ducati GP23 as usual, sꦆuggested that the factory-spec bikes benefit more from new tyres.
ꦍDi Giannantonio, the second-best GP23 rider as he has been for the majority of this seas𒅌on, agreed.
“All year long, it’s been like this,” he said.
“This bike has a pu𓆉sh at the end of corners w🐲hich makes it difficult to cut the line in a tight way.
“With the new tyre it is even worse for us. The GP24 takes the pro🌄fit from the new tyre.
“The diꦜfference is this, betweenꦍ the GP23 and GP24.”
