“Yes, it's always Marc in his ridi☂ng style,🥀” he said.
“He enters corners very strongly, he༒ is v𓂃ery aggressive.
“He rides very well and goes very fast.
“I feel like I'm at an excellent level and while maybe in my debut in MotoGP I saw him a little more ꧒from afar, now I no longer see h🐠im as an alien.
“Obviously I have great respect for him because ꦑhe is a cham🅷pion and when he rides he has his magic, but I don't see him as unattainable.
“I see him as a rival and eve🍬n wh♓en I study him I don't see big differences."
Di Giannantonio - who was replaced at Gresini by Marquez last year, before finding his career-best form - has benefitted from an extra two years of ad🎀aptation to the Ducati.
He sees similarities wit﷽h how Marquez uses his new ಌmachinery.
“The ve🌠ry pa🌠rticular thing is that I see from the data that we use gas in a very, very similar way,” he said.
“It's something that sometimes amazes me.
“Being close to the♍ guidance of an eight-time world champion is not bad."
