Di Giannantonio sure "bright days will come" after slow 2024 MotoGP start
Last year’s Qatar Grand Prix winner switched to Valentino Rossi’s team after losing his Gresini Ducati ride to Marc Marquez later in the season. Di Giannantonio’s impressive performance in the premier class included his first top five, podium, and win results. Expectations were high for him entering his third year in MotoGP in 2024. Despite a solid pre-season, he has only gathered 15 points from the first two rounds in Qatar and Portugal. Although his 7th place in Qatar was a highlight, his 10th place in Portugal was somewhat lucky due to crashes in front of him. Di Giannantonio remains optimistic, recalling that breaking into the top 10 was a big achievement for him in the previous year, and believes brighter days are ahead. Sitting in 10th place, he leads the VR46 team in the standings, while his teammate Bezzecchi has faced challenges adapting to the GP23.
