Di Giannantonio: MotoGP bikes like ‘riding F1 with two wheels’
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

VR46 rider Fabio Di Giannantonio has heaped praise on the current MotoGP bikes, citing how the modern specification feels like “riding Formula 1 with two wheels”.

The current specification 2024 bikes have seen a sizeable increase in top speed, resulting in several lap records being broken at the beginning of the 2024 season.

While this received criticism from some in the paddock, including Gresini Ducati rider Marc Marquez, Di Giannantonio has said the bikes give him more satisfaction.

“It depends because as a rider, at the moment, the MotoGP bike is just fantastic. I would never go back honestly,” he told Autosport.

“A MotoGP bike has to be a prototype. A full prototype bike and has to be the maximum expression of motorcycle engineering.

“Honestly, I go crazy when I see all the new aero things, all the new devices, all the power that we have, because at the end we are riding a Formula 1 [car] with two wheels.

“But it has to be like this from my point of view.”

While the current aero might provide quicker bikes and record lap times, the caveat is the racing product in races as following competitors has become even tougher.

The Italian didn’t make his premier-class debut until 2022, which provides the argument that he himself has never experienced racing without the present regulations that are in force today. But although he accepts this point of view, he still remains firm that MotoGP should keep the regulations unchanged.

“For the show, at the moment, it’s a bit more critical because with all the things that we have it’s becoming worse and worse to do some overtakes,” he added.

“But as a rider the [current] MotoGP bike is fantastic. I would never go back. Maybe we have to go back but I would never go back.”
