French MotoGP not being declared wet initially was “strange” for one rider
VR46 MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio found it “strange” that the French Grand Prix did not declare wet conditions before the start, given the state of the track. The chaotic race at Le Mans began with all riders on slick tires for the initial warm-up lap, but deteriorating conditions led to a pit stop for wet bikes, and eventually the start was aborted. Half the grid, including Di Giannantonio, started on slicks, which led to a mixed strategy race. Di Giannantonio went from 17th to finish 8th, salvaging points in an otherwise tough weekend. Despite the confusion, he recognized the importance of being in the right place at the right time in such unpredictable conditions and was content with the outcome, focusing on the positive of gaining points for the championship. Sitting fifth in the standings, he remains motivated to close the gap to the front runners.
