Marc Marquez “jeopardised” his MotoGP career if he didn’t end 2025 season early
The MotoGP medical director, Dr. Angel Charte, believes that Marc Marquez put his racing career at risk by not ending his 2025 season early due to a shoulder injury caused by a crash in the Indonesian Grand Prix.
Marquez, a seven-time world champion, initially did not require surgery but later had a successful operation in Madrid.
Despite the surgery, Marquez will sit out the rest of the 2025 season to focus on his recovery, expecting to be fully fit for pre-season testing in February.
Dr. Charte emphasized that Marquez should only return when he is completely healthy, as prematurely coming back could have serious consequences for his career.
Following Marquez’s injury, Ducati will have Nicolo Bulega replace him in the final two rounds of the season, with Michele Pirro stepping in for earlier races.
