VR46 MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio thought it was “𒅌strange” that the French Grand Prix wasn’t declared wet prior to the aborted start given the conditions💎 at the time.

Last Sunday’s chaotic French GP at Le Mans was run in wet conditions, though everyone set off on the initial 🅺warm-up lap on slick tyres.

However, the track had deteriorated to such a degree that everyone pitted for wet b🃏ikes - leading to race direction aborting the start.

When the race began properly, around half the grid - including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Di Giannantonio - started on slic൲ks as condit🐲ions had dried enough before more rain fell.

Those on slicks had to pit for their wet bikes, while a wet-shod 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco 𝐆came through to win by꧋ almost 20 seconds having gambled on the strategy.

Di Giannantonio came from 17th on the grid to rescue eighth from an o💦therwise disappointing weekend at Le Mans for the factory🅷-backed Ducati rider.

“Actually, on the grid it was quite strange because everybody was with the slick tyres but it was completely raining and the track was completely wet,𝓀” 🎃Di Giannantonio told MotoGP’s official website.

“So, it was also strange to not𒀰 see the ‘wet race’ panel shown.

“But anyway, everybody was just looki💦ng around, looking at each other, [thinking] ‘what do we do?’

“Because it was not clear at all. But it started a wild race wi💞th wet tyres, slick tyres, wet tyres.

“I just tried to manage my maximum pace. I was feeling quite ok with ඣthe slick tyres, a little wo🌌rse with the wet tyres.

“But apart from that we finished in P8, so it’s like I🐭’m ok.

“I don’t know what to say because it was a strange race. It was 🦄not about performance, it was about being in the right moment, in the right place at the right time.

“So, i❀f we want to see the posi🅷tive things we took some points.

“Also we recovered some points to the guys๊ in front for the third place. So, I’ll take it. It’s good.”

Di Giannantonio sits fifth in the standings now on 74 points, 11 down on teamꦜ-mate Franco Morbidelli and 46 points outside of third-placed Pecco Bagnaia.
