Fabio Di Giannantonio and the incident between Bezzecchi and Viñales: “I was so scared.”

He was the first pursuer of the two, and he broke a cold sweat.

Fabio Di Giannantonio was the first chaser of Marco Bezzecchi and Maverick Viñales, who violently collided with three laps to go in the Phillip Island Sprint Race. No one more than he was therefore able to get a real-time idea of the dynamics of the accident, which fortunately turned out to be without heavy consequences for the two protagonists. But he certainly broke into a cold sweat.

"I experienced one of the scariest moments of my life – admitted Di Giannantonio to 'Sky Sport' – When you are at the end of a straight, at 350 km per hour, and you see literally 20 meters from you exploding è really bad. I also had to try to avoid the pieces that were flying, but two or three hit me".

Di Giannantonio then exposed the consequences that he, too, suffered after the bang between Bezzecchi and Viñales: "I have a broken windshield, and the titanium plate of my suit got è all punctured. È it was a really scary moment". His teammate è was transferred to Melbourne for a precautionary CT scan, bruised elbow for the Catalan.

"From the track I could not tell what had happened,” Di Giannantonio added. The'only thing I can admit è that I really got so scared. Maybe è it was one of the few moments in my life when on a motorcycle I was really scared".
