Di Giannantonio then appl𝓰ied big pressure to title contender Jorge Martin but wasꦆ unable to pose a threat in the form of an overtake. 

“I was trying so hard,” Di Giannantonio told MotoGP.com. “Honestly, my start was so poor. I completely made a mistake and then I had a problem with the front💧 device which did𒉰n’t go off for like half a lap. 

“Also, the front temperature was really high from the second lap. It ꦅwas difficult to save the tyre and push, but I did a good job.&nbs🥃p;

“I was battling with the guys and having a lot of fun. Then I tried to catch Jorge but he was doing a great job through sectors two and three which are the places where you have to ride the bike the most. I was struggling with the fron🌊t but it is what it is.”

While fellow Ducati rider Luca Marini che𝄹wed through his rear tyre after just four laps, it was only⛦ the front tyre which was an issue for Di Giannantonio.

The Italian said pressures rose very quickly an🍨d that made it difficult to follow despite catching Martin with relative ease. 

Di Giannantonio added: “For my side it was just the front feeling which was not great, but with the MotoGP of toda🦹y and these rules with the pressure🎀s it is super difficult to follow and to try and overtake in three corners. 

“I was able to catch Jorge but Iꦓ was not able to try an overtake. I was trying really hard but it was difficult. I was on 🅘the limit.”
