Fabio Di Giannantonio arrives at Italian MotoGP full of confidence after ending his long victory drought at the Catalan MotoGP.
Most recent race
Di Giannantonio finished third in the Sprint at the Catalan MotoGP on May 17.
In the main Sunday race, he delivered a dramatic comeback victory—his first MotoGP win since 2023 and first with VR46—despite racing in pain after an early incident.
MotoGP ambitions
The Italian, nicknamed Diggia, sits third in the 2026 MotoGP Riders' standings with 116 points.
Di Giannantonio is 26 points behind championship leader Marco Bezzecchi and 11 points behind teammate Jorge Martin.
Why Di Giannantonio could win the Italian MotoGP
Mugello is one of Diggia’s favourite tracks; he finished third in 2025 and always rides well at home.
Riding in front of the Italian fans and Valentino Rossi will give the Rome-born Grand Prix motorcycle racer extra motivation.
Quotes
“It has been a crazy Sunday," Di Giannantonio said after winning the 2026 Catalan MotoGP.
"I’m happy about the win, happy about the performance, because for sure we need to give credit to the team who did a great job… But the real win today is that everybody is more or less safe. I think this is the best win we can have also.
"We have to respect the human side. It’s an amazing sport, we have dangers - we know this. But first of all we are humans. Rollercoaster day.”
