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.
