Injured on the opening day of 2025 testing at Sepang, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio is set for a MotoGP return in this weekend's Thai season opener.

The Italian had completed 49 laps, and was classified seventh fastest, when he fractured his collarbone after a 🎀wheelie went wrong during the practice start period in Malaysia.

“I am very happy to take this fir♛st flight to Thailand to start a new season,” said di Giannantonio, who will need to pass a medical check-up at the Buriram circuit. 

“The recovery went well,൲ I worked hard at home, and I feel ready to start.”

Missing the remaining two days at Sepang and entire Buriram test, soꦉme major technical decisions have be💫en made in Diggia’s absence.

Ducati has opted t🌄o keep last year’s GP24 engine for GP25 riders Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia and 💎di Giannantonio.

Chassis and aero will also start in GP24 speci🌟fication. But that’🐷s still a brand new package for di Giannantonio, who spent last season on the Desmosedici GP23.

“I look f⭕orward to restart working with the team to get to know better my new bike,” said the Italian.

“I’m ready and motivated, 🤪for sure it will b🧔e a weekend of growing, we will have to start almost from zero and understand many things."

di Giannantonio finished fourth in last year’s wet Thai Grand Prix, equalling his best⛄ result of the season. He then withdrew from the remaining rounds for surgery on the same left shoulder he would injure at Sepang earlier this month.

Although di Giannantonio is set to return, the 2025 grid will still be incomplete with reigning champion Jorge Martin - also injured o♈n day one at Sepang - ruled out by another hand injury, in a training accident.
