Fabio Di Giannantonio chose to avoid escalating tensions and left all decisions regarding the early race incident entirely in the hands of the stewards. The Italian rider suffered a heavy crash at Turn 3 during the opening stages of the Grand Prix following contact involving Alex Marquez, an action that subsequently earned the Gresini rider a double long lap penalty.
Although medical staff attended to him via ambulance at the crash site, Di Giannantonio reassured fans and media that he was physically okay. Naturally frustrated by failing to complete a single racing lap and missing valuable telemetry regarding tire degradation, the Italian rider preferred to look forward rather than dwell on the controversy.
Regarding the sanction handed to his rival, Di Giannantonio maintained a composed stance, emphasizing that his role is strictly focused on riding rather than officiating. He dedicated his afternoon to intensive physiotherapy sessions to recover from the physical impact, prioritizing his fitness for the upcoming main race.
Meanwhile, Gresini team principal Nadia Padovani personally visited his office to address the situation. Even though he missed the chance to properly evaluate tire durability—a major challenge faced by riders like Pecco Bagnaia—Di Giannantonio remained confident in his raw pace and potential to fight at the front.
