Marc Márquez absent from the Australian and Malaysian Grand Prix

Marc Márquez arrived in Spain this morning, where, immediately after landing from Indonesia, he went to the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid. After undergoing several medical examinations, the Spanish rider has been diagnosed a fracture at the base of the coracoid process and a ligament injury to his right shoulder. Clinical examination and radiological assessment have ruled out any connection with previous injuries and have also confirmed the absence of significant bone displacement.

For this reason, the medical team led by Dr. Samuel Antuña and Dr. Ignacio Roger de Oña has opted for a conservative treatment plan, involving rest and immobilization of the affected shoulder until full healing and clinical consolidation of the fracture, thus definitively ruling him out of the upcoming Grand Prix in Australia and Malaysia.

The Ducati Lenovo Team rider will undergo weekly check-ups, and his progress will determine the final recovery time and his return to racing. 

Marc Márquez (Ducati Lenovo Team #93):
“Fortunately, the injury isn’t serious, but it’s important to respect the recovery timeline. My goal is to be back before the end of the season, but without rushing things beyond the doctors’ recommendations. Both my personal and the team’s main goals have been achieved, so now the priority is to recover properly and get back to 100%.”
