Snubbed From MotoGP, Will Fabio di Giannantonio Return To Moto2 In 2024?

2 years ago By Sports Desk

The MotoGP transfer carousel for the 2024 season is spinning, and one name stands out prominently in the mix—Fabio di Giannantonio, affectionately known as “Diggia. The question on everyone’s mind is whether the Italian rider will make a triumphant return to the Moto2 class after being seemingly snubbed from the MotoGP grid.

A Career in the Fast Lane

Fabio di Giannantonio’s journey through the world of motorcycle racing has been nothing short of remarkable. He first graced the World Championship stage in 2015 during the Moto3 season finale in Valencia. Since then, he has been a consistent presence in the paddock, with an almost eight-year association with the Gresini racing team, albeit with a brief interruption.

In 2018, Di Giannantonio finished as the runner-up in the Moto3 World Championship, cementing his status as a rising star in the sport. The subsequent years saw him transition to the Moto2 class, where he competed with the Speed Up team in 2019 and 2020 before rejoining Gresini for the 2021 season.

The MotoGP Dream

2022 marked a significant milestone in Di Giannantonio’s career as he made the leap to the premier class, MotoGP. Joining the Ducati satellite team, he embarked on a new chapter, aiming to make his mark among the elite riders of MotoGP.

While his journey in MotoGP has showcased moments of promise, including securing a pole position in qualifying and several top-10 finishes in races, Di Giannantonio has yet to stand on the podium, a milestone that continues to elude him.

2024: The Turning Point?

As the 2024 season approaches, Fabio di Giannantonio finds himself at a crossroads. The uncertainty surrounding his future in MotoGP has led to speculations of a potential return to the Moto2 class, where he has a proven track record.

The Moto2 grid remains a competitive arena, and Di Giannantonio’s experience could serve as a valuable asset. The question now is whether the Italian rider will embrace this opportunity for reinvention and resurgence.

Gresini’s Decision Looms

While the Gresini team, which has been an integral part of Di Giannantonio’s journey, is at the center of this decision-making process. While the team has extended Alex Marquez’s contract for another year, the identity of Marquez’s teammate for 2024 remains undisclosed. Michele Masini, Gresini’s sporting director, has emphasized their commitment to giving Di Giannantonio more time to prove himself.

However, the team cannot afford to wait indefinitely. A deadline is looming, and it is believed that the next two or three races will be pivotal in determining Di Giannantonio’s fate.
