Speed Up Racing (2019–2020)
[edit]Fabio moved to Speed Up Racing in Moto2 for 2019 and he took 2 podiums in Brno and Misano.
2020 didn't fare much better for him as he only took 2 more podiums in Barcelona and Teruel.
Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 (2021)
[edit]After two difficult seasons with Speed Up, he decided to move to Gresini for the 2021 season and took 3 more podiums and 1 win ranking him 7th in the standings.
MotoGP World Championship
[edit]Gresini Racing MotoGP (2022–2023)
[edit]When he moved up to the MotoGP class in 2022, he stayed with Gresini on a Ducati; his best finish was 8th place in the German Grand Prix, ranking him 20th in the standings for the 2022 season. A highlight in an otherwise difficult season was that Di Giannantonio attained his first premier class pole position at Mugello.
2023 was a much better season for him as he took 7 top 10s, a top 5 and 2 podiums. On 12th October 2023, it was announced that Marc Marquez, who ended his 11-year stint with Honda the prior week, will be replacing Di Giannantonio in the Gresini Ducati team for the 2024 season. In the penultimate race of the 2023 season, he scored his maiden MotoGP Grand Prix victory in the Qatar Grand Prix. This was a huge surprise and meant a lot to him amidst the uncertainties of a MotoGP seat for the 2024 season.
VR46 Racing Team (2024)
[edit]Ultimately, the strong performances in the last few races of 2023 saw him stay in the MotoGP class, as he moved to the VR46 Racing Team, replacing Luca Marini, who moved to Repsol Honda.
