The dynamics of MotoGP are evolving rapidly, and Uccio Salucci of the VR46 team is well aware of this. One of the recent changes concerns Fabio Di Giannantonio, a driver who has gone from being uncertain to being heavily courted in the space of a year. Salucci, Valentino Rossi's right-hand man, recognizes the value of this talent and intends to keep it within his team. Ducati could play a crucial role in providing the necessary arguments to succeed in this endeavor.
Public chat GP One, Uccio Salucci commented : " last year no one wanted Fabio Di Giannantonio and now everyone wants him! He's really fast, it's nice to work with him and he's growing a lot. So it's normal that everyone wants it. But we hope to be able to keep it ourselves. It would be a shame if he left. He is a fast driver and still very young and you will see that we will do something »
The man of Valentino Rossi also revealed plans to secure the future of By Giannantonio : " with Ducati, in my opinion, we will have a Ducati Factory 2025 and another which will be the last 2024. So maybe we will work and discuss to have two GP25s. But for now, this is how things are going. A GP24 managed within a Factory team, I would define it as good, because we are talking about the bike that Pecco will use during the last round in Valencia. It is therefore a competitive motorcycle. »
Best race so far 🐺 💪🏻

Uccio Salucci, VR46: “ when you sign the contract, you must also think that there are things written if you sign it »
Salucci underlined the team's confidence in By Giannantonio : " Last year, we believed in Di Giannantonio. We signed it and then it's not true that he was Aldeguer's plan B. Finally, we wanted to take it because he is Italian and fast and we also have an option on him which expires after Silverstone. I don't want to say that we have a choice, but when we sign the contract, we must also think that there are things written if we sign it... But beyond that, he feels good with us, with the team and then he has the fastest bike in the world and I don't see any major obstacles to staying with us »
Meanwhile, the future team Pramac Yamaha working to recover By Giannantonio. The MotoGP paddock is in turmoil, and the competition to attract the best talent is more intense than ever. By Giannantonio is now the center of attention, and its future seems promising. Whether with VR46 or another team, it is clear that this young Italian rider has enormous potential and a bright future in the MotoGP championship.
