Di Giannantonio Finishes 4th at Assen, Says He 'Expected a Penalty' After Contact With Marquez

Holding onto 4th place even after a penalty is proof of real skill, I'd say.

Getting a result on a track where Aprilia riders tend to be strong could set up a good flow heading into the second half of the season.

Is Di Giannantonio currently riding for Aprilia?

Saying he expected a penalty kind of implies he was the one who initiated the contact.

Finishing 4th while closing the gap to the championship leader — sounds like a genuinely productive race content-wise.

Comparing the contact with Marquez to 2015 — I'm curious which specific incident that's referencing.
