Speaking about his triumph, Di Giannantonio said: “Th♌e moment is incredib꧟le. The feeling now is a bit more relaxed but it’s because I understand what has happened.”

Despite his win, Di Giannantonio looks set to miss out on a place in MotoGP next s🎀eason, which is very harsh given his recent form.

The 🍌Italian admitted after his win that doors are closing and that he received a negative update recently.  

“I want to be honestꦺ and🐈 say one thing,” began Di Giannantonio. “After Malaysia something about my future happened and it was not a good thing. 

“So I arrived home with a lot of anger but in a positive way. I ♏said two or three times to my fami🐎ly and friends that in Qatar I’m going to win. 

“My friends said ‘don’t say it, go there and work’. But I said ‘no, I am going to win,𝓡 I am going to do it’. But you have to do things well and make it happen. It was not easy but we made it.”

Di Giannantonio, who has been clos𓆏e to victory on a couple of occasions since the summer break, couldn’t ha🉐ve chosen a better rider to get the better of, as Bagnaia looks set to become a two-time champion. 

ꦓAware of the title fight and what’s therefore at stake, Di Giannantonio said: “It was tough because he is the world champion. He has wo𒉰n many races and knows perfectly how to manage the situation. 

“Also, he is playing for the world championship so I had to be really careful. For sure, I 🦹didn’t want to do anything stupid and ruin anybody’s race. 

“I knew that I had something more. At that moment I felt sorry for h🎀im𒀰 because I was taking points from him but I had the chance to win.”
