MotoGP, Valencia J3, Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati/3) throws a chill: “Yes, Ducati is close to its limits”

Thank goodness he was there. In Valencia, Fabio Di Giannantonio was the only Ducati representative on the podium, and for a long time, it seemed he wouldn't make it! "Diggia," very proud of his effort, pulled off a series of superb overtakes, an art he masters better than anyone else on the current grid. While he didn't have the season he'd hoped for, There are still some positive aspects to be found in its 2025 financial year., starting with his ability to stand out in duels against the best drivers in the world.

Di Giannantonio was very satisfied with his Sunday, which ended with a fourth podium finish this year. « It was a truly exceptional season, a real emotional rollercoaster, and it couldn't have ended better with two podium finishes.I'm especially happy for the team, who have always supported me. Honestly, I wanted to win today. My start was really good, but I quickly realized that the pace ahead of me was too fast. » we read on speedweek.

 

 

The Italian wanted the victory, but it was completely out of reach today. « I wasn't able to fight for the win from the start, so I opted for a different strategy. : preserve my tires and attack at the end. I followed Pedro closely. He was back in top form after the start, but I also saw him prematurely wear out his rear tire. He also made a few minor braking errors. » he added.

 

 

As the races progressed, Ducati's advantage diminished considerably, allowing the other manufacturers to close the gap. “If we consider the regulations and development, largely frozen until 2026, I think Ducati is already close to its limitsIt is becoming increasingly difficult to optimize the Ducati further. I just hope Aprilia takes some time before making any new improvements" he stated in a more serious tone.
