The VR46 rider, Fabio Di Giannantonio, delivered another competitive performance by securing a fifth-place finish in the Malaysian Sprint race. Following his strong podium finish at Phillip Island a week prior, the Italian rider missed out on the top three this time around. Despite a generally positive result, the #49 rider felt unsatisfied because he believed his package was capable of achieving much more during the short race.
Speaking to Sky Sport MotoGP, Fabio Di Giannantonio explained that he always feels disappointed when knowing they could have executed a better performance overall. He highlighted a fantastic start off the line but noted a mistake at turn one where he should have braked slightly later. Nevertheless, he expressed great satisfaction with the bike setup and hopes the team can adjust something minor to go even faster in the upcoming full-length race.
Beyond his on-track battle, Fabio Di Giannantonio strongly criticized the suboptimal asphalt conditions at the Malaysian circuit, despite resurfacing works carried out prior to the MotoGP paddock's arrival. He reported being struck by numerous small stones during the morning sessions, leaving him with minor bruises from flying debris.
The Italian rider elaborated that the track surface felt very rough, resembling past incidents in Brazil and Indonesia where scraped asphalt failed to provide a smooth and linear finish. He even noticed small pebbles resting directly inside his starting grid slot as he pulled up to take his position, concluding that track preparations could certainly have been handled with much better execution.
Looking ahead to the final stretch of the season and the upcoming grand prix, Fabio Di Giannantonio pointed out that Alex Marquez holds the best race pace, while Marc Marquez is also exceptionally fast. His realistic target for the remainder of the campaign is to secure fourth place in the championship standings, though he still holds onto a mathematical dream of fighting for third.
