The race weekend at the Lusail International Circuit delivered a sharp contrast for Fabio Di Giannantonio after showing tremendous pace during the morning sessions.
The VR46 rider felt immensely confident following a stellar warm-up performance, describing his machine as the finest it had felt in two full years of competition.
However, hopes of fighting near the front dissolved quickly once the main Grand Prix got underway due to sudden and uncontrollable technical hurdles.
Severe chatter and massive vibrations rendered the bike nearly impossible to lean through the corners, momentarily leaving him as the slowest Ducati on track.
"This morning after warm-up I told my team that it was the most enjoyable bike I'd ridden in the last two years!" Di Giannantonio explained regarding his initial optimism.
He emphasized that the team was fully prepared to deliver a strong result before the unexpected issue completely derailed their competitive momentum.
"I had an amazing bike, and I could do anything I wanted; we were fast. We were ready to have a great performance in the race. But unfortunately, after a few laps, it was impossible to lean, I had massive vibrations," he added.
Despite crossing the finish line in eighth place and retaining sixth in the overall standings, the Italian opted to focus on the positives from the weekend.
With only two rounds remaining, attention now shifts toward the final stretch of the season where top contenders including Marc Marquez continue their fierce championship battle.
