We finally have news regarding Marc Marquez’s physical condition after the crash during the Indonesian Grand Prix: he will be out for two races, but there’s reason to breathe a sigh of relief.
When it comes to Marquez’s right arm, it’s impossible not to think back to 2020. Initial concerns yesterday were related to a possible relapse of that old injury. Fortunately, that’s not the case: a fracture in the shoulder and a ligament injury have been confirmed, but nothing related to that serious past incident.
Marquez’s Asian tour ends here, but there’s hope to see him back on track for the final races of the European season.
The official statement
Just a few minutes ago, the team issued a statement: “Marc Márquez arrived in Spain this morning, and immediately after landing from Indonesia, he went to the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid. After undergoing several medical tests, the Spanish rider was diagnosed with a fracture at the base of the coracoid process and a ligament injury in the right shoulder.
Clinical and radiological examinations ruled out any connection with previous injuries and also confirmed the absence of significant bone displacement.
For this reason, the medical team of Dr. Samuel Antuña and Dr. Ignacio Roger de Oña has decided to continue with conservative treatment, which includes rest and immobilization of the affected shoulder until full recovery and clinical consolidation of the fracture. This definitively rules out his participation in the upcoming Grands Prix in Australia and Malaysia.
The Ducati Lenovo Team rider will undergo weekly check-ups, and the progression of his condition will determine the final recovery time and his return to competition.”
Marc Marquez’s words
Speaking about the injury, Marquez emphasized that the only focus now is healing properly:“Fortunately, the injury is not serious, but it’s important to respect the recovery time. My goal is to return before the end of the season, but without rushing things beyond the doctors’ recommendations. The goal, both individually and as a team, has been achieved, and now the priority is to recover well and come back at 100%. »
