Marc Márquez Out of Australia and Malaysia With Shoulder Fracture

Doctors in Madrid chose non-surgical immobilisation with weekly reviews after scans showed no displacement.

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.
