Aldeguer Takes Maiden MotoGP Win in Indonesia After Bezzecchi–Márquez Crash

The race doctor confirmed a clavicle‑region fracture for Marc Márquez, leaving his return timetable uncertain.

Overview

  • A first‑lap Turn 7 touch from Marco Bezzecchi on Marc Márquez’s rear wheel sent both riders into the gravel and out of the race, with stewards keeping the incident under investigation and any sanction still pending.
  • Race medical chief Ángel Charte reported a small clavicle fracture for Márquez with further scans planned, and the champion left the circuit with his arm in a sling as doubts linger over upcoming rounds.
  • Aprilia said Bezzecchi suffered no bone fractures after hospital checks in Mataram, and both he and Aprilia’s Massimo Rivola offered apologies that Márquez accepted.
  • Rookie Fermín Aldeguer dominated to his first MotoGP victory by 6.987 seconds, with Pedro Acosta second and Alex Márquez third, making Aldeguer the second‑youngest premier‑class winner.
  • Ducati endured a bruising day as Francesco Bagnaia also crashed out, capping a tense weekend that included a sprint long‑lap penalty for Márquez after contact with Alex Rins.
