Fabio Di Giannantonio is targeting consistent point scoring for his sophomore MotoGP season with Gresini Racing in 2023. The Italian suffered a rollercoaster rookie year with just six points scoring finishes.
A best placing of eighth at the Sachsenring backed up his impressive maiden pole position on home soil two rounds earlier, but Di Giannantonio is confident he has what it takes to target the top ten repeatedly this time round, thanks in no small part to new arrival Frankie Carchedi. “For this year, we have a few changes,” the 24-year-old explained from Saturday’s 2023 launch. “First of all in the staff I have a new crew chief, that is Frankie Carchedi, that was working with Joan Mir in Suzuki.
We did our first test together and it went really good, also personally we’re really good. “Also we have the new bike, the 2022 bike that is not much different compared to 2021 but still there are some things that are new and better.
For sure, I will continue my learning process, my growth, but the goal for this season is to improve every race the result of last year.
