The Gresini Ducati ri𒈔der was conducting a Sprint race simulation when he lowsided at Turn 7, sending him sliding into the gravel trap.

But the ‘normal’ accident sud꧑denly escalated when he hit big ‘rocks’ sending him ‘exploding’ through the gravel trap and causing hard impacts to his head.

di Giannantonio’s biggest annoyance is that, despite repeated warnings over the size of the rocks in the gravel trap,ꩵ he will now miss out on the crucial final day of testing as well as several d🙈ays of training.

“Yesterday was a big one, but overall I'm quite OK. I think I could ride 🥀today, but the doctor said that it's better to wait a little bit because I had a concussion,” said di Giannantoni💃o.

“It's🐻 a pity because the day was going really good and I was f✃eeling great with the bike, like Sepang, like Valencia.

“It's a pity also because honestly it was just a low-side crash but♑ here the gravel is insane. Every year we complain about the gravel be🐼cause there are really big rocks. And when you hit them, it is more painful than hitting the asphalt.

“I was just sliding on the asphalt and once I touched the gravel, I did like an explosion. And once my head banged the gravel, I compౠletely ‘disconnected’. But if you see the helmet is something unbelievable. I've never seen a thing like this.

“I’ve asked my team to say something [about it] because we pay so much attention to👍 things like the safety equipment of the riders, the spray [paint] on the kerbs and the lines at the side of the circuit, so I think there has to be a [better] guideline [for gravel traps].

“Because like this, it’s like going into the wall and what I was saying is if we haཧve to race like this, it's better to go to Monaco! That is more show and the risk is the same.

“We’ve asked them to change the gravel here for many, many years and for these days of testing they change just for turn 1 and no𒀰t the rest of the circuit.

“They say every time ‘yeah, we'll do something’. Us riders and also race direction and staff are asking to t꧅he circuit to do something, but it seems no﷽t.”

di Giannantonio, who was left ninth quickest on day one, said that the accident left him di📖zzy, with blurred vision ꩵand nausea.

“It was a big one, honestly. But the crash started as like a normal crash, so t🍬o lose a day of testing and 3-4 days of training also at home, just for gravel, makes me angry.”

The young Italian, who took a surprise home Mugello pole a💙longside a best of eighth place during his rookie season, added that he had no complaints about being declared unfit by the doctors, as long as the same action is taken for eve♏ryone.

“The main thing is to be OK physically,” he said. “Let's hope that every time it will be like this because in the pꦑast we saw a lot of riders riding one day after surgery or some꧟thing.”

As of 11:30am, team-mate Alex Marqu🐓ez was leading the timesheets with his&ꦚnbsp;GP22 machine.
