Finishing sixth at Silverstone aboard his Ducati, Fabio Di Giannantonio finally said what he'd been holding back: Aprilia currently builds the best bike on the grid. He admitted his own machine, while excellent, still can't beat Aprilia, and revealed Ducati lacks the resources to push hard on both ends of the bike without chewing through the tires.

What Di Giannantonio admitted at Silverstone hits home for me. Push hard from corner entry to exit and you chew through the front or rear tire — I've seen that exact trade-off from trackside, and it's not some abstract complaint. The Ducati's excellent, no argument there, but when the rider himself says the ceiling is different, that's not a setup problem anymore, man.

What does "push either end and you wear the tire" actually mean? Is that a setup thing?

Heard something similar from another team a few years back. The top seat never lasts long.

The tire-management talk sounds a bit like an excuse to me, honestly. Isn't that just development delays in disguise?

Looking at the race-pace drop-off, the tire degradation claim actually checks out numerically.

Wild that he'd openly admit Aprilia's the best. The pecking order is getting clearer.

Even finishing sixth, I read this as a confident statement. The overall package is still top-tier.
