In his first season, Ribas made 39 appearances and scored nine. At Dijon, Ribas would become an influential player in the club.
The following season, Ribas improved the club when he began a scoring form, resulting scoring sixteen and was the third top-scorer, just behind Anthony Modeste and Olivier Giroud. During the season, Ribas scored his first hat-trick of his Dijon career in a 5–4 goal thriller win over Châteauroux on 30 October 2009, including a winning goal when he scored from a penalty and set up a goal for Christophe Mandanne.
At the end of the year, Ribas was chosen the best player from Ligue 2 in 2010, scoring 25 goals in that year.

And we, too, are necessarily very sad,"[5]
Genoa edit
