168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio says training with the VR46 Academy at the Ranch and having Valentino Rossi as his team boss will be a 'super help' in MotoGP 2024.

The revelation of last season when at Gresini Ducati, di Giannant💙onio stormed to a debut podium at Phillip Island, then an emotional victory at the penultimate round in Qatar.

But with Marc Marquez already confirmed as taking his seat, Diggia was still on the 🌃verge of beingಞ dumped out of MotoGP until an eleventh-hour deal to fill the void left by Luca Marini at VR46 Ducati.

“I kneꦐw this was a sup🐓er team as they achieved a lot of great success in their ten years [in grand prix racing],” di Giannantonio said at today’s Pertamina VR46 team launch.

“The 'first touch' [with the team] was so cool in Valencia [test]. Then my winter was n🐬ormal. But during the year there will be some differences because I can train more often at the Ranch and wi꧟th the VR46 [Academy] guys. It will be a huge opportunity to improve. 

"Also having Valentino as a boss is a super help for me, because I have the GOAT [Greatest Of All Time] that can look over my shoulder🃏 and give me some advice. These will be the main differences.”

The b⛎ig question now is whether di Giannantonio can continue his stunning end-of-season form with a new team, machine, crew and team-mate.

“The goal from my side is to grow my career as a rider and improꦡve every performanc♕e I’ve done last year,” he said.

“The end of last season was fantastic. The goal would be to restart from there꧂, making some consistent to🎐p 5s.

“It will depend on how we start the tests in a fewꦡ weeks… But I think we’ll be ready to fight alre♚ady in Qatar for the first race.

“The first touch with the GP23 [in Valencia test] was fantastic. For sure we have to work on a lot of areas but the bike hꩲas a lot of potential.”

And what of his relationship with new team-mate and triple 2023 race👍 winner Marco Bezzecchi?

“We've known each other since the early days of our careers,” di Giannantonio smiled. “We saw some nice pictures these days abou🌄t 2015 in the CIV in Moto3. We were fighting for th🌱e title. It was super cool to see 10 years later we’re here in MotoGP as team-mates.

“We have a great relationship. We shared som﷽e great memories, some great fights, nice partying sometimes! We have a nice relationship and I think it will be a big boost for both of us to improve.

“He’s a super precise rider, super-fast in a lot of conditions. Also, in the wet. It wil👍l be nice to bring what’s goo🔥d from me and also what’s good from him. It will be a nice combo, a nice mix.”

di Giannantonio insisted he feels no extra motivation to try and beat Gresini replacement Marc Marquez - also riding a GP23 - this season, since his only focus is to “be the💧 best.”

Despite that exceptional aim, and the fame that com♏es with being a MotoGP race winner, di Gi🉐annantonio said his life away from the race track remains ‘normal’.

“I’m the same Diggia as before,” he said. “Maybe people recognise mꦅe more, but I live in Rome, a big city, and there’s also more passion for football. Motorbikes are a bit more on the side.

“So it♓ didn’t change so much for me and that’s g⭕ood. I like to be a completely normal guy. “

di Giannantonio will be back on hi♒s bright, yellow and white VR46 Desmosedici during the Sepang test from February 6-8.
