Overview

• Marco Bezzecchi hit the back of Marquez’s Ducati on the opening lap at Mandalika, sending both riders into the gravel at high speed.
• Initial X-rays showed a small fracture and trauma on the right side, with uncertainty over shoulder versus collarbone due to Marquez’s prior operations.
• Marquez walked away but was later seen with his arm in a sling and said preliminary checks pointed to possible torn ligaments near the collarbone.
• Bezzecchi was examined at the medical centre, returned to the garage, and apologized to Marquez after the incident.
• Race stewards have opened a review of the collision, and Marquez’s availability for Phillip Island in two weeks hinges on the Madrid assessment.
