After missing all but the opening day of pre-season testing due to injury, then being forced out of the Buriram Sprint due to extreme heat from his VR46 Ducati, a ‘proud’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio finished tenth in Sunday’s Thai MotoGP.

The Italian was robbed of testinඣg due to a collarbone fracture, on the same left shoulder that underwent major surgery late last year, during a freak wheelie accident at Sepang last month.

The next time he rode was during Friday practice for the opening grand prix, also his debut on the GP24 spec Ducati, with factory duo Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia deciding against the GP25 parts during his absence.

After battling pain fr🃏om the shoulder in practice, di Giannantonio qualified 13th but was then roasted during the Sprint: “I got burওned on the hands, on the legs, on the neck, completely burned - like never before.”

Some ‘artistic’ overnight modifications helped for Sunday, when the Italian was ꦜon course for ninth place until losing out to Tech3 KTM’s Enea Bastianini 𒈔in the final laps.

“Proud,” said di Giannantonio. “Proud of the team, proud of me, proud of the staff that I have atౠ home. We made, I think, something really big.

“Racing in MotoGP without knowing at all th♚e bike, without doing any kind of test [on the GP24] and without any kind of training on the shoulder - my physical condition in my upper body is zero, I didn't do a push up for six months, since the first injury in Austria last year.

“Then arriving here with these kind of conditions - [the heat] has been hell, almost fire on track! So we can say that we've done an amazing job. The potential was to be fast, even if I was starting far from the top guys. The pace even this morning was not that൩ bad.

“The ♋only thing that stopped us from making an o🉐utstanding performance was my body.

“If not, I think we just haveඣ to be proud, happy, because we've been fast, we finished the race in the top 10, we made some good overtakes when the body was still a little bit there.

“൲We never gave up. We found some solutions compared to yesterday about the heat. So just proud of everyone.”

di Giannantonio didn’t want to reveal the exact solutions, thought to involve some homemade heat shields being fitted to the bikeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ, but admiꦕtted “some were a bit artistic!"

GP23 vs GP24 “like another world”

di Giannantonio might h🀅ave had no laps on a GP24 before this weekend, but the performance blew him away compared to last year’s GP23, which was built for a previous version of the Michelin tyres.

“Way better, way better!” Diggia grinned. “Last year, I was talk🐼ing with some colleagues and they﷽ were saying, ‘No, no, GP23-GP24 is [almost] the same bike, [a few] things new’. 

"But... It's like another world completely! Much,🔜 much, much faster. The power is insane. The traction is unbelievable. And the turning of the bike.”

di Giannantonio’s team-mate Fra𒉰nco Morbidelli, on the sat🀅ellite-spec GP24, completed an all Ducati top four.
