JAKARTA - Gresini Racing racer, Fabio Di Giannantonio managed to carve an impressive record when appearing in the 2022 German MotoGP. In the race which took place at the Sachsenring Circuit on Sunday, June 19, Di Giannantonio's appearance earned points in the midst of intense competition.

In that race, Di Giannantonio entered the top ten for the first time. The Gresini rookie managed to finish the race in eighth position.

This result then led to a contract extension plan from the team. Reportedly, team officials have agreed to give the Italian rider a new contract.

"I'm looking forward to it. We'll see. In fact, we are close to reaching an agreement (a new contract)," said Diggia quoted from MotoGP.com.

The racer who is familiarly called Diggia admits that the results at the Sachsenring have added to his motivation to perform better. He is also confident that he can achieve good results in the next race which takes place at the Assen Circuit, the Netherlands.

"When you get good results, it becomes a kind of injection of motivation. This is a good result for us ahead of the race at Assen," he said.

When racing at the Sachsenring, Diggia did start the race quickly. He was able to compete in the front group. Unfortunately, the condition of the tires and track forced him to be overtaken by another racer.

"Half the race, the heat and the condition of the tires made the tires slide naturally, I lost a few positions," said Diggia.

"I can say, this is the first time in three races that I have been able to give resistance. This time, I leave the German MotoGP with pride," he continued.
