Fabio Di Giannantonio has spoken about his different aero set-ups on his Ducati MotoGP bike
VR46 MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio shared his strategy of switching aero packages inspired by Formula 1 at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Despite starting the weekend on Ducati’s 2026-spec aero, he switched to an older version during Saturday’s action.
Di Giannantonio believes in adapting aero packages based on circuit characteristics and grip levels, much like F1’s approach. He emphasized the importance of choosing the right setup for the bike’s performance.
Although he qualified fourth at Balaton Park, a poor start in the sprint race pushed him out of the points to 10th place.
He highlighted the challenges he faced with the bike’s front-end due to an abundance of rear grip, affecting his early-race performance.
Di Giannantonio also discussed a crash during Q2, mentioning his luck in avoiding engine stall and addressing concerns about his finger injury affecting clutch operation.
