Overview
- The Ducati rider sustained a coracoid-base fracture and a right-shoulder ligament injury in a first‑lap crash at the Indonesian Grand Prix.
- He will skip Phillip Island on October 17–19 and Sepang on October 24–26 as he follows the prescribed recovery plan.
- Hospital assessments reported no significant bone displacement and ruled out links to his prior shoulder surgeries.
- The treatment team led by Dr. Samuel Antuaa and Dr. Ignacio Roger de Oaa opted for conservative care with the shoulder immobilised and weekly check-ups.
- Márquez targets a return before season’s end, eyeing Portimão or Valencia and the post-race Valencia test if doctors clear him.
