VR46 Ducati MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio says the fact he will be working with a fourth new crew chief in as many ye𝔍ars in 2025 is “not fantastic”.

Di Giannanto♕nio made his debut in the premier class with Gresini in 2022, working with rookie crew chief Donatello Giovanotti.

For 2023, Di Giannantonio was partnered with world cham🐲pion crew chief Frankie Carchedi, which proved vital for the Italian as it allowed him to make the step to becoming a grand prix w🅰inner.

With 𓃲VR46 throwing him a career lifeline for 2024, Di Giannantonio was paired with former Valentino Rossi crew chief David Munoz as Carchedi remained at Gresini with Marc Marquez.

For 2025, when he takes on a works Ducati at VR46, Di Giannantonio will work with Massimo Bran💯chini, who was Franco Morbidelli’s crew chief at Pramac this year.

“It’s not the best thin🐻gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ to have in a career, to change four crew chiefs… well, I think more [than that] in the last years,” he said.

“I ha🌜d two in Moto2, M💖otoGP [I’ll have had four]. So, it’s like my sixth crew chief in five years. So, this is not fantastic.

“But I think🌳 my new staff will be amazing also, because my electronics guy has ꧂just become world champion with Jorge Martin.

“And Massimo Branchini is♊ a person that I really give a lot of credit to because he has bඣeen fantastic in Moto2, and also in MotoGP with Franky he did an incredible job.

“I always wanted to work with him, so I think we will have strong staff thi💞s time.

“And also a two-year deal, so it 🍨will be two years the same people, the same staff and this will be a big step in my career because I can work in the same path for two year♚s.

“So, this will be really good.”

Di Giannantonio says consistency in who your crew chief is makes understanding a bike from year to year better, 🍰noting that the likes of Francesco Bagnaia got 𝄹to the level he is at now in large part because of this.

“It’s always better, becau🗹se when you arrive into the next year with the same bike, same staff, you can compare what you did the last year with the bike and the job you have 🦩done to improve,” he added.

“If not, every time you ha♛ve to start from zero, because you don’t know the intentions of a modification; you miss something.

“If you see now, Pecco is at an incredible level because he is a great rider, but also because he has had the same bike and same staff fo💧r 🍨many years.

“In the end, when you have the same bike, s🍰ame package for many years you can start to work on details and you can improve much more compared to if you change a lot of things.”
