The world champion suffered a shoulder injury at the Indonesian Grand Prix
MotoGP’s medical chief, Dr. Angel Charte, stated that Marc Marquez won’t return before the season-ending Valencia Grand Prix due to his shoulder injury from the Indonesian Grand Prix.
Marquez had surgery after a U-turn decision was made earlier this week, ruling him out of upcoming races in Australia, Malaysia, and likely Portugal.
Dr. Charte emphasized the need for patient treatment to avoid lasting consequences from Marquez’s injury, as enforced by Dr. Roger de Ona.
Marquez might face a 16-week recovery period, extending past the end of the season in Valencia, which could also impact his participation in the post-race Valencia test.
Replacement riders for Marquez have been considered, with Ducati’s Michele Pirro filling in for the Australian Grand Prix and plans for Malaysia yet to be finalized.
