Damaged my brand new TCR

Hi everybody,

First of all I'd like to say hello to the forum members. I probably would not registered now, if it weren't for my trouble.

I bought a Giant TCR Advanced nine days ago and right on the 2nd ride I dropped the chain. It did not ring any alarm bells for me, since I did not pedal or force it (or so I thought).
Couple of days later, while inspecting the FD (it needs adjusting), I accidentally saw the damage hiding behind the chainring.

I own steel and alluminum road bikes, but this is my first carbon frame.
I'd like some of your opinions from experience. I assume it is not catastrophic, but should it be taken care of by a professional, or could I, maybe mask it and keep riding. (and buy a damn chain catcher). It is a very nice frame, but fortunatelly it did not cost a fortune.
Apparently, posting images is not allowed for new members, so If there is any other possibility, I'd be happy to share them.


Cheers!
