Marc Marquez is confirmed to miss the next two Grands Prix following further medical checks undertaken on his arrival home to Madrid. The newly crowed World Champion is confirmed to have suffered a fracture at the base of the coracoid process and a ligament injury to his right shoulder.
Clinical examination and radiological assessment have ruled out any connection with previous injuries and confirmed the absence of significant bone displacement.
The medical team at Ruber International Hospital in Madrid, led by Dr. Samuel Antuña and Dr. Ignacio Roger de Oña, has therefore opted for a conservative treatment plan, involving rest and immobilization of the affected shoulder until it is fully healed and the fracture is clinically consolidated. This rules out the #93’s participation in the upcoming Grands Prix in Australia and Malaysia.
Marquez will undergo weekly check-ups and his progress will determine the final recovery time and his return to competition.
Marc Marquez: “Fortunately, the injury isn’t severe, but it’s important to respect the recovery timeline. My goal is to be back before the end of the season, but without rushing things beyond the doctors’ recommendations. Both my personal and the team’s main goals have been achieved, so now the priority is to recover properly and return at 100%.”
