Fabio di Giannantonio is not expected back until the opening round of the 2025 MotoGP season.

The Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team have released an update on Fabio di Giannantonio after his recent surgery.

The Italian fractured his collarbone during a dramatic opening day of the Sepang MotoGP Test.

A statement from his team on Monday read: “Successful surgery for Fabio Di Giannantonio on Sunday 9th February in Italy, to reduce the fracture in his left collarbone.

“The Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team rider crashed in the first day of testing in Sepang last Wednesday.

“Right after his crash, Fabio went back to Italy, and he reached the private hospital Villa Stuart, where the Team coordinated by Professor Alessandro Castagna performed the operation to reduce the injury on Sunday morning.

“The surgery was successful and the rider will start the rehabilitation process immediately.

“The goal is to arrive to the first race of the season in Thailand (28th February – 2nd March) in the best physical condition possible.”

The VR46 rider had only just returned to action following shoulder surgery at the end of the 2024 season. For the 2025 season, di Giannantonio had been given a factory-specification Ducati by the Italian manufacturer.

Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia and di Giannantonio are the only three riders with a Ducati GP25.
