Having just gotten off his VR46 satellite team Ducati after finishing second in the sprint race of the Qatar MotoGP Grand Prix at the Losail circuit, Fabio Di Giannantonio spoke to the cameras of the official MotoGP.com website with satisfaction at being back on the podium but also with great respect for Jorge Martín, who kept him behind him almost until the end.

We report his remarks here without any formatting.


🎤 Fabio, another brilliant performance in Qatar. You managed to stay in control right to the end. That duel with Jorge on the last lap was simply fantastic. What does it mean to you to be back on the podium at this circuit that you love so much?

Fabio Di Giannantonio: “Yes, this circuit is incredible. I love riding here. And today’s race was truly crazy. Honestly, I’m super impressed by Jorge. What he did today was unbelievable. He was riding so well. I gave it my all. I think we put in a very good performance. It’s a shame we had that gap with Marc. In the end, it was impossible to catch him. But we can be proud and happy, that’s for sure. A superb second place, and we’re keeping the momentum going. We’ll try again tomorrow. ”
