Marc Marquez has confirmed his return to riding a motorcycle as he recovers from shoulder injuries sustained at Mandalika. The nine-time world champion dominated the 2025 MotoGP season with Ducati before being injured by Marco Bezzecchi in Indonesia. Marquez, diagnosed with a coracoid fracture and ligament damage, had surgery after the shoulder failed to stabilize naturally. His injury kept him out of the final races and the Valencia test, but he is close to being fully healed, aiming to familiarize himself with the throttle next week. Marquez plans to be back on a MotoGP bike during the early February test in Sepang, with Ducati honoring his 2025 title with a limited edition Panigale V4 replica.
