VR46-Fabio Di Giannantonio: there is feeling, struggles instead Marco Bezzecchi
The words of Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi
.
Ended the first on-track event of the 2024 season for the newly formed Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team in Sepang where the first official MotoGP tests come to a close. Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi, riding the Ducati Fluo Stream, close in the wake of the strongest, respectively in P8 and P15 in the three-day combined.
55 laps also in today’s day for Fabio, who still improves his time. In the morning, he stopped the stopwatch at 1’57.343 and then devoted himself to a more than positive and convincing Sprint race simulation in the afternoon. A small slip at Turn 9 before lunch, without consequences, and then the head already; to the next test in Qatar in just under two weeks (February 19-20 next ed.).
Fair balance for Marco, who fails to go beyond yesterday’1’57.867. He completed 56 laps and gave up the dry lap attempt to focus on tuning. Also for him a small fall in the final corner 5.
“I return to Italy with a smile, if I have to give a grade to this test, I would say 9 out of 10 said Di Giannantonio to the team’s official channels -. The feeling è was good right away, even the time attack was not bad. I really enjoyed this morning, but the thing that charges me the most è è the result and the feelings during the simulation this afternoon, when it was really hot on the track. We were fast, all the signs are positive. The GP23 è so much more powerful, also in terms of traction and it has a different confidence on the front end. I’m tired, at the physical level I have to recover a little bit’, but I can’t wait to get back on track in Qatar”.
“We close this first test with a day a bit’ complicated – admitted Bezzecchi -. We had a small problem on the bike and we opted not to attempt the time attack. I preferred to work on the riding style again, I am struggling a little bit. The bike è very fast, but I am still not comfortable, I have to adapt and that still takes a little’ time. In braking and acceleration, the sensations are different from the GP22. I have not yet been able to bring the package to the limit, which is the reason why we continue by step and leave aside for a moment dry lap and simulation ahead of Qatar”.

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.

In the final, with President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the stands,- the 29-year-old from Bagni di Lucca, No. 5 in the ranking and No. 6 in the seeding, defeated 6-4 6-2, in an hour and 29 minutes of play, the U.S. Coco Gauff, No. 3 WTA and fourth seed.
The U.S. was ahead 2-1 in the balance of direct confrontations with Jasmine, who, however, had won the very last one, played in the quarters on Stuttgart indoor clay last month.
