Marc Marquez Undergoes Shoulder Surgery in Madrid After Non-Surgical Plan Fails

Ducati says his recovery will dictate any comeback, with Australia already off his schedule.

Overview

  • After seven days of immobilization without adequate improvement, doctors opted for surgical stabilization and ligament repair.
  • The procedure was performed at Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid and was described as successful by the team.
  • Medical assessments identified a fracture at the base of the coracoid process and damage to the acromioclavicular ligaments in the right shoulder.
  • Ducati has ruled him out of Australia and Malaysia, with test rider Michele Pirro confirmed to race at Phillip Island.
  • His return date remains open, leaving Portimão and Valencia in doubt as he recuperates at home without public comment.
