Fabio di Giannantonio: Marc Marquez to Gresini is “a marketing operation”
Marquez will swap Honda, one of MotoGP’s most prestigious giants, for one of its smallest tꦍeams in 2024 because he wants to rediscover competitiveness with the help of a Desmosedღici.
Since confirmation t⛎hat di Giann🍒antonio will lose his seat, he has delivered eye-opening form culminating in last weekend’s victory at the Qatar MotoGP.
He told about his frustration over how Gresi꧒ni managed his exit: "I don't like to talk about it, but for me it wasn't handled very well by the team.
“There was a rush to sign 𒐪Alex [his teammate, whose contract was renewed for 2024].
“Marc's story is particular, hꦏe's an eight-time champion.&ജnbsp;
“But in the short term he didn't achieve great results. It's more of a marketing operation, 🌠although I💟'm sure he will do very well.
“I didn't like how we arrived at thi🗹s decision, in 2024 we could hꦚave done great things.
“Maybe Fausto would also be a little angry…”
Di Giannantonio, after a period of seeming like he would miss out on the 2024 season altogether, 💜is now in pole position to land the vacant VR4✤6 bike.
“I isolated myself,” he said.
“I have 💟the situation clear in my head and [my manager] knows what I think and want.
“But I have forbidd𓂃en him fr🐲om talking to me about it until there is a contract.”
Di Giannantonio, in just his second year in the premier class, has stunned the paddock with his form over the past month which included his first podium and first win, which remarkably arrived at a🦩 time when he was out of work for 2024.
"Ma🦩ny didn't believe in me because they didn't loo💦k at what we did,” he reacted.
“They only foc🎃used on the post on Instagram where🙈 the result was written.
“Seeing Fabio behind, they imm🌺ediately thought I wasn't worth a damn, but I'm happy to h♛ave proved the opposite.”
