Fabio di Giannantonio storms back into contention for VR46 seat in 2024

The Qatar MotoGP winner is out of a job in 2024, having lost his Gresini Ducati to M🌠arc Marquez.
But his manager insists that he could be in contention to claim the vacant VR46 seat, the last chance to sta💝y in the premier class.
Fermin Aldeguer, the teenage Moto2 talent, was VR46’s first-choice to replace Luca Marini, who i𓆉s set to go to Repsol Honda.
But negotia🎐tions with Aldeguer have been tough and haven’t yet resulted in a breakthrough.
Luca Bos🍸coscura, owner of the Moto2 Speed Up team, wants to keep Ald✨eguer.
And the y🤡oung Spaniard has an offer to join Pramac Ducati in 2025 if he stays in Moto2 for another season.
This has opened the door to Di Giannantonio, re⛎port.
"I finally see some light, after quite a hard period,” his mana📖ger Diego Tavano sa🍃id.
“This agony was not easy to live through.
“I think𝔉 something can move, we had a first chat🎃 with VR46, I'm optimistic.”
Di Giannantonio’s form has☂ explode꧃d since it was confirmed that he will lose his Gresini seat to Marquez.
He fini📖shed fourth in Indonesia then claimed a first podium in Australia.
♏Then he overtook championship leader Francesco Bagnaia in Qatar to win his first MotoGP race, remarkably doing so with his future dangling by a thread.
