Italian star Fabio Di Giannantonio, who won despite a dramatic accident at the Catalan MotoGP, will be unable to attend the team's test day due to his injury. This indicates that the rider has decided to focus entirely on recovery before the next race.
A major accident during the first start of Sunday's race left Di Giannantonio facing a severe injury. However, despite this difficult obstacle, the Italian rider managed to secure VR46 team's first MotoGP victory since 2023.
The injury occurred when a large debris, including front wheel and suspension parts, ejected from Alex Marquez's fragmented Ducati motorcycle, struck Di Giannantonio. Struggling through pain and difficulty, Di Giannantonio took the lead three laps before the end after the second start, crowning his victory by crossing the checkered flag in first place.
Decision Focused on Testing and Recovery
After the race, the VR46 team issued an official statement regarding the rider's health and test planning. This statement revealed that Di Giannantonio and the team reached a mutual decision.
Quote: "Following the accident that occurred yesterday at the Catalan GP, VR46 and Fabio Di Giannantonio have mutually decided not to participate in today's test day at the Circuit de Barcelona and to focus entirely on recovery before the next grand prix."
With this decision, Di Giannantonio joins the list of riders who missed the final official tests of the 1000cc era in MotoGP history. Other star riders who have experienced this include Alex Marquez, Johann Zarco, and Marc Marquez.
While his teammates remain off the track, the task of representing VR46 alone in the tests falls to teammate Franco Morbidelli. Morbidelli will represent the team with a GP25 motorcycle on this test day.
