Marc Marquez Undergoes Shoulder Surgery, Ruled Out of Australia and Malaysia

Doctors abandoned conservative care after a follow-up showed persistent instability in his shoulder injuries.

Overview

  • Marquez had surgical stabilisation of a coracoid fracture with repair of acromioclavicular ligaments at Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid.
  • He is recovering at home with his return timing dependent on rehabilitation progress, with reports pointing to a possible target around the Portuguese Grand Prix.
  • Ducati confirmed he will miss the Australian and Malaysian rounds, with test rider Michele Pirro deputising at Phillip Island and Malaysia still to be announced.
  • The injury followed a first-lap collision at Mandalika when Marco Bezzecchi struck the rear of Marquez’s bike at Turn 7, and the incident remains under stewards’ review.
  • Marquez has called the clash a racing incident and urged fans to stay calm, having already secured the 2025 MotoGP championship before the crash.
