JAKARTA Three MotoGP riders had to pull out earlier than Sepang's test due to fractures. The latest unfortunate fate was experienced by VR46's racer, Fabio Di Giannantonio.
The Italian rider was confirmed absent from the rest of the Sepang MotoGP test after experiencing a broken spine in the accident on the first day of the test on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
VR46 in an official statement confirmed that Di Giannantonio suffered a broken spine. This problem prevented him from taking the rest of the test.
"The Pertamina Enduro VR46 team racer will fly back to Italy tonight to undergo surgery," said the statement from Valentino Rossi's team, quoted from Crash.
At Giannantonio previously had to miss the last two rounds of the 2024 season for recovery after he underwent surgery on his sprained shoulder at the Austrian Grand Prix.

The latest problem left Di Giannantonio with a short break of approximately a week to recover before returning to tests in Buriram ahead of the new season.
Despite having an accident, Di Giannantonio was recorded to be in seventh fastest position at the end of the first day of the race test after completing 49 laps.
Before him, reigning world champion Jorge Martin also had to be sent back to Spain for a fracture after a terrible highside accident on the same day.
Another name is Raul Fernandez. This Aprilia Trackhouse driver will also be absent for the rest of the test because he has to undergo surgery to break his left hand.
