Fabio di Giannantonio: Marc Marquez to Gresini is “a marketing operation”
Marquez will sꦿwap Honda, one of MotoGP’s most prestigious giants, for one of its smallest teams in 2024 because he wants to rediscover competitiveness with the help of a Desmosedici.
꧙Since confirmation that di Giannantonio will lose his seat, he has delivered eye-opening form culminating in last weekend’s victory at the Qatar MotoGP.
He told about his frustration over how Gresini managed his exit: "I don't like to talk about it, but for me it wasn't handled very well by the team.&nꩲbsp;
“There was a rush to sign Alex [his team༺mate, whose contract was renewed for 2024].
“Marcꩵ's story is particulꦫar, he's an eight-time champion.
“But in the short term he didn't achieve great results. It's more of a marketing operation, although I'm sure he will do very well.🎉
“I didn't like how we arrived at this decision, in 2024 we could𒅌 have🎐 done great things.
“Maybe Fausto would also be a little angry…”
Di Giannantonio, after a period of seeming like he would miss out on the 2024 season altogether, is now in pole position to land theꦬ vacant VR46 bike.
“I isolated myself,” he said.
“I have the situatio𓄧n clear in my head and [my manage𓆉r] knows what I think and want.
“But I have forbidden him from talki🐻ng to me about it until there is a contract.”
Di Giannantonio, in🅠 just his second year in♐ the premier class, has stunned the paddock with his form over the past month which included his first podium and first win, which remarkably arrived at a time when he was out of work for 2024.
"Many🌟 didn't believe in me because they didn't look at what we did,” he reacted.
“They only focused 🌃on the post on Instagram where the result was written.🧜
“🔯Seeing Fabio behind, they immediately thought I wasn't worth a damn, but I'm happy to have prove🍨d the opposite.”
