Di Giannantonio 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 Di Giannantonio, as he only took 2 more podiums in Barcelona and Teruel.
After two difficult seasons with Speed Up, Di Giannantonio decided to move to Gresini for the 2021 season and took 3 more podiums and 1 win ranking him 7th in the standings.
When he moved up to the MotoGP class in 2022, Di Giannantonio stayed withGresini on a Ducati; his best finish was 8th place in theGerman 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 atMugello.
2023 was a much better season for Di Giannantonio, as he took 7 top 10s, a top 5 and 2 podiums. On 12 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. This led to a notable upturn in form for Di Giannantonio, as he took his first premier class podium atPhillip Island, and his maiden MotoGP Grand Prix victory inQatar. This was a huge surprise and of great importance for his future amidst the uncertainties of a MotoGP ride for the 2024 season, as his performances in the flyaway rounds of 2023 meant he finished the year 12th in the championship.
Ultimately, the strong performances in the last few races of2023 saw Di Giannantonio stay in the MotoGP class, as he moved to theVR46 Racing Team, replacingLuca Marini, who moved toRepsol Honda.Despite not winning any races in2024, Di Giannantonio was consistent throughout the season, with only one finish outside the top 10.
Di Giannantonio achieved his best MotoGP championship position, finishing 10th over the season. He earned a 2 year contract extension with VR46 for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, and would ride with factory equipment for the 2025 season. He started the season with a podium finish at the Grand Prix of the Americas, and a first home podium at theItalian Grand Prix after overtaking the factory Ducati ofFrancesco Bagnaia on the penultimate lap for P3.
