Overview

• Márquez had the operation on October 13 at Hospital Ruber Internacional in Madrid and is now recovering at home, Ducati confirmed.
• The procedure involved surgical stabilization with repair of the acromioclavicular ligaments after conservative care did not provide sufficient stability.
• Ducati named test rider Michele Pirro to replace Márquez for Australia on October 18–19 and Malaysia on October 25–26.
• Rehabilitation will proceed with weekly medical reviews without accelerating timelines, leaving Portugal and Valencia participation uncertain.
• The injury stems from his Indonesian Grand Prix crash involving Marco Bezzecchi, and doctors say the case is unrelated to Márquez’s 2022 operation.
