The 2025 MotoGP preseason started in almost the worst way possible for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio with a collarbone fracture on the first day of testing, and the Italia♋n has aꦦdmitted that he still has a lack of physical strength in his injured shoulder ahead of this weekend’s first round in Thailand.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:VR46 Racing Team rider broke the collarbone 🏅on his left shoulder on day one of the Sepang test at the beginning of Fꦿebruary, the same shoulder that the Italian had been through surgery on at the end of 2024 to fix the damage he sustained during the dislocation he suffered in Austria last summer.

The result was a lack of testing, but also a lack of training – both on and of🐷f the bike, as he explained.

“No, because the surgery has gone perfectly but I broke my collarbone๊ in quite a particular point, let’s say, quite on the edge of the collarbone,” Di Giannantonio said on Thursday (27 February).

“So, the plate that we put is on the edge of the collarbone and if I stre✱ss the collarbone during these 14 days I could have probably [broken] the collarbone [and] have to do again another surgery.

“So, these 14 days have ♑been critical andꦍ I had to be really precise on the work to do on the shoulder again. But now I’m here, I will be on the bike on my 17th day after the surgery, so I think it will be a good time to restart.”

The Ital♛ian added that he hadn’t been able to do any gym work, either, instead spending most of his time doing physi🙈otherapy.

“Physio, mos♚t hours in the physio💟,” Di Giannantonio said about his winter training.

“Let’s say that🐭 for sure, after the first surgery, the recovery was quite lon🔯g, so I did a lot of pool, work in the gym, the physio, and now [after the second surgery] again especially on the physio because I couldn’t workout in the gym because I really had to rest the shoulder again.

“So, now I’m like 95 per cent physically ready, and then zero per cent on the shoulder. But, anyway, I feel good and moꦕtivated to start.”

Despite the lack of physical preparation during the winter, Di Giannantonio indicated he’s confident he’s taken the r♕ight path to recover his 🧔shoulder and collarbone.

“If you read even i🔯n the books, you need six weeks to make a bone recover perfectly, and we are much less th♏an six weeks,” he said.

“Also, the way I had the injury, I had to recover, I just had to give the time to the plate and the collarbone to recover as much as possible to arrive here to do ♒effort.

“So, it’s not doing 10 or 20 push-ups in these days that makes you be stronger or more ready for🐎 racing. If you do a proper work in one month, two months, for sure it helps; but to make push-ups on Monday or three days ago does less.”

The Italian is also without doubts that he will be able to race this weekend in Thailand, even if his ambitions are relatively mod𒁃est.

“I will be ready. For sure I will miss some power on the left arm, bu൲t last year I did seven races with a shoulder that was coming out in 🧸every braking, so not much worry.”

About hi♉s goals for the weekend, he added: “To finish both races, making🔜 a lot of laps, understanding the bike, and finding my flow again – as I was having in the first day of testing.

“I would be super-haꦑppy. Then, whatever it takes is good, whatever result.”

“It seems like it’s the best Ducati bike”

Aside from the obvious physical ones, the other consequence of Di Giannantonio’s col🧔larbone fracture in Sepang was his lack of testing time on the new Ducati.

Given much of Ducati’s 2025 preseason was spent deciding between 2024 and 2025 specification components, with the decision ultimately going the way of the former, Di Giannantoni🌃o’s absence meant he had little input in Ducati’s development direction for this year, which instead was based almost entirely on the comments of the two riders of the factory team: Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia.

Di Gianna🌊ntonio, though, at least 🦄said he was confident in Ducati’s decision to use a base derived from the Desmosedici GP24, rather than the 2025 specification.

“Ducati brought a new specification in Sepang that I tested, and they changed quite a few things, but they changed these few things to have a be𒅌tter bike,” he said.

“So, I know perfectꩲly that Ducati wants to give us the best support, as we know we are the factory supported team and rider so if this is the best bike then for me I’m ready.

“Also, we have the same package as Pecco [Francesco Bagnaia] and Marc [Marquez], so we are all on the samꦉe package, the same bike, and it seems like it’s the best Ducati bike.”

He added that, in Buriram this weekend, he “will try something different; but it’s the la꧙test evolution of the bike.”
