Johann Zarco needs to wait “a couple of weeks” for surgery to repair the ligament damage from his crash at MotoGP’s Catalan Grand Prix last weekend. His leg got caught in Pecco Bagnaia’s Ducati as they collided at the race restart, leading to significant injuries. The consultation with specialist Dr. Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet in Lyon, France, revealed the need for a waiting period before the surgery to allow initial healing. Zarco’s recovery plan will be determined after the surgery to assess his return timeline. Another rider, Alex Marquez, is also dealing with injuries from the race, including a collarbone surgery and a neck fracture that is being monitored closely for further steps in his recovery process.
