Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez underwent two separate surgeries in Madrid following his withdrawal from the French Grand Prix. The surgeries took place at the Ruber Internacional Hospital, with doctors stabilizing the broken fifth metatarsal of his right foot and performing an advanced shoulder procedure. This unexpected intervention resulted from Marquez crashing during the Le Mans weekend sprint race, leading to complications in his recovery process. Marquez had initially planned the shoulder surgery after the Catalan Grand Prix but had to advance the operation due to the recent injury. Ducati has not provided a specific timeline for his return but mentioned that his progress over the upcoming weeks will determine when he can resume competing. Marquez’s absence from the Barcelona race is confirmed, and his focus now shifts to rehabilitation before targeting a potential return at the Mugello Grand Prix on May 29.
