Fabio Di Giannantonio is an Italian professional motorcycle racer competing in MotoGP, the premier class of motorcycle road racing. Nicknamed 'Diggia,' the Rome-born rider joined the Grand Prix paddock in 2015 and rose through the ranks, claiming his first Moto3 victory at the 2018 San Marino GP. After three seasons in Moto2 with two wins and consistent top-five finishes, he graduated to MotoGP in 2022 with Gresini Racing. Known for his aggressive late-race charges and technical adaptability, Di Giannantonio scored his maiden premier-class podium at the 2023 Australian GP while riding a Ducati.
In 2024, Di Giannantonio continues to build momentum with the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team after switching from Gresini. The Italian has shown flashes of top-ten consistency early in the season, including a strong seventh-place finish at the Portuguese GP. Recent practice sessions – like Johann Zarco's pace-setting run at the French GP – highlight the competitive Ducati machinery at his disposal. While still seeking his first podium of the campaign, 'Diggia' remains a threat in mid-pack battles as he adapts to Valentino Rossi's satellite squad.
