The words of Fabio Di Giannantonio
A young Italian rider, fast and really consistent. The Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team lineup for the two-year period 2025 – 2026 is thus starting to take shape. Fabio Di Giannantonio will in fact be a Ducati rider, with an official bike, within the project of the Tavullia team for the next two seasons of the MotoGP championship.
Another important piece for an increasingly solid synergy between the VR46 Racing Team and the Borgo Panigale manufacturer after the confirmation of an agreement as a Factory Supported Team. Satisfaction and an injection of confidence for Fabio, who joined the team last year in an almost daring way, and capable of surprising with his consistency and professionalism. In 2025 – 2026, he will be on the track with an official Ducati to reach ever higher. Currently eighth in the general classification (with 104 points) and in the final top ten of the GP nine times this year, Fabio aims to score his first podium of 2024. It would be the third of his young career in the premier class.
Felicismo Fabio Di Giannantonio: “Nine months ago I found myself without a bike to continue my dream and today I sign a contract with two of the most important entities in MotoGP, it’s hard to believe. I’m very happy to be able to continue this fantastic journey together with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team and Ducati Corse for the next two seasons. I arrived here almost by chance, I immediately felt at home and with the team we are doing really well. I want to thank Vale, Uccio, Pablo, the whole work group, Ducati and my staff, we have left no stone unturned. We are opening a new chapter, I can’t wait. I will be on the track for two years with the official Ducati, we can and must aim to achieve ambitious results. It’s a huge project, where I feel 100% involved and we can fight for the top step of the podium. We continue to work, we grow weekend after weekend: this is a further injection of confidence to always give our best”.
Alessio Salucci also commented: “The 2025 – 2026 two-year period of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team is starting to take shape. After the announcement of the partnership with Ducati last week, today we can confirm that Fabio, thanks to the agreement signed directly with the Borgo Panigale company, will wear the fluorescent yellow of the team for the next two seasons. I cannot hide my satisfaction, he arrived on tiptoe, he is working very hard, he is always there with the strongest and he deserves to collect so many satisfactions. It is a very important moment for the future of the team, the relationship with Ducati is increasingly stronger and we can only thank Pertamina Lubricants and all our partners who support us and continue to believe in this ambitious project”.
Luigi Dall’Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse, echoed his words: “We are really happy to have Fabio Di Giannantonio among our Ducati riders for the next two years. Diggia has always shown great faith in our project and his dedication and talent have led him to constantly grow in MotoGP. We are confident that together with the VR46 Racing Team and having an official Desmosedici GP he will have even more opportunities to highlight his full potential. Officially welcome to the Ducati family, Fabio!”.
