After being forced to skip part of the Red Bull Ring weekend following his accident during pre-qualifying Fabio Di Giannantonio is ready to throw himself back into the fray despite not yet being at 100 percent and while aware that he will have to grit his teeth.
"I haven't talked to the doctors yet, but I'm fine even though my mobility is still not at its maximum. I have to say that I came here on a scooter and I didn't have any major difficulties. To prepare for my return to Aragon I worked really hard like never before, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. between physiotherapy, gym and swimming pool. Now I will just have to manage the pain. Honestly, I had never dislocated my shoulder at this level and also because of my musculature it was difficult to get it back in place," he explained.
"Will surgery be necessary? We will see. During this period I have been followed by excellent doctors who have kept me monitored with X-rays every three days. At the end of this appointment we will do further checks," he then left any hypothesis open.
Considering the good progress of his season, this injury just wasn't needed. "It's unfortunate, but it can happen. A lot of good things happened to me since last year and I never had time to appreciate them. In the bad, this time I had a chance to reflect. Now I feel really strong and eager to grow," he took it philosophically.
Turning his mind back to the crash, the VR46 Racing bearer recounted, "I was trying the hard front tire and other solutions that made the bike nervous. At Turn 8 there was a bump on the curb and as soon as I got on it my Desmosedici started to move and I was taken by surprise. I will pay more attention in the future because that is a change of direction where you tend to relax."
"Now my shoulder is a little more delicate than a normal one having injured the rim (glenoid rim, in medical terms n.d.r.), however I should have no problems riding. The important thing is to try not to fall back on it violently," he concluded.
