The bike that contested last season’s championship - through Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin - will be passed down to the Gresini and VR46 riders this year.While Marquez’s adjustment to the Ducati is headline news in MotoGP and beyond, he is not the rider who is getting the best out of the bike so far.“I have to say Diggia,” ex-racer and now broadcaster Simon Crafar pointed out.“He has found a comfortable setting and made good lap time the quickest.
“The thing with testing? Every year, we think we’ve got a good idea. “But we come to the first race and it’s different.Di Giannantonio was riding the GP22 last season with Gresini but lost his seat to Marquez this year. He earned a move to VR46 due to his excellent end-of-year form, and he will again ride a year-old Ducati.
Di Giannantonio explained in Qatar how incorrect advice from Francesco Bagnaia paved the way for him to excel with his first laps on the GP23. “Well, last year, the few podiums that I did… I was chatting with Pecco about the differences between the bikes,” Di Giannantonio said.“Because my riding style would be worse for this bike.“The bike allows me to push harder and faster, and I have more feeling from the bike.
