VR46 Ducati MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio says the fact he will be workin🤪g with a fourth new crew chief in as many years in 2025 is “not fantastic”.

Di Giannantonio made his debut in the premier class with Gresini in 2022, wor༒king with rookie crew chief Donatello Giovanotti.

For 2023, Di Giannantonio was partnered with world champion crew chief Frankie Carchedi, which proved🅠 vital for the Italian as it allowed him to make the step to becoming a grand 😼prix winner.

With VR46 throwi𓆉ng him a career lifeline for 2024, Di Giannantonio was paired with former Valentino Rossi crew chief David Munoz as Carchedi remained at Gresini with Marc Marquez.

For 2025, when he t🌃akes on a works Ducati at VR46, Di Giannantonio will work with Massimo Branchin🍒i, who was Franco Morbidelli’s crew chief at Pramac this year.

“It’s not♕ the best thing to have in a career, to change four crew chiefs… well, I think more [than that] in the last years,” he said.

“I had two in Moto2, MotoG♈P [I’ll have had four]. So, it’s like my sixth crew chief in five years. So, this is not fantastic.

“But I think my new staff will be amazing also, because my elꦐectronics guy has just become world champion with Jorge Martin.

“And Massimo Branchini is a person that I really give a lot of credit to because h🧸e has b🐼een fantastic in Moto2, and also in MotoGP with Franky he did an incredible job.

“I always wanted to work with him, so I think we will have str🌊ong staf𓆉f this time.

“And also a𝕴 two-year deal, so it will be two years the same people, the same staff and this will be a big step in my career because I can work in the same path for two years.

“So, this will be really good.”

Di Giannantonio says consistency in who your crew chief is makes understanding a bike f🌠rom year to year better, noting that the likes of Francesco Bagnai🅷a got to the level he is at now in large part because of this.

“It’s always better, because when you arrive into the next year with the same bike, same staff, you can compare what you did the ꩲlast ye🌳ar with the bike and the job you have done to improve,” he added.

“If not, every time you have to start from zero, because you don’t know the intentions of a modification; you miss s꧅omething.

“If you see now, Pecco is at an incredible level because he is a 🍸great rider, but also because he has had the same bike and same staff for many years.

“In the end, when you have the same bike, same package for many years you can start to work on details and you can improve much more compared to if you change a lot of things.” ꦬ;
