Gigi Dall’Igna has spoken of the main issue that has resulted from Marc Marquez’s latest injury
Ducati’s general manager Gigi Dall’Igna has pinpointed the brand’s inability to begin testing for 2026 as the main issue following Marc Marquez’s injury. Marquez, who secured his seventh premier class title while with Ducati, had started looking towards 2026 during the final MotoGP rounds of the year. Unfortunately, Marquez sustained a serious shoulder injury in a crash with Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi during the Indonesian Grand Prix. The subsequent surgery has ruled Marquez out for the rest of the season. As Marquez focuses on recovery, Ducati will have World Superbike star Nicolo Bulega replace him for the final two rounds of the season. Marquez’s return timeline remains uncertain, with MotoGP medical director Dr. Angel Charte emphasizing the importance of Marquez being fully fit before returning to action.
