World Champion Marc Marquez is unlikely to return to MotoGP action before the final round in Valencia, according to medical staff.
Marc Marquez, the World Champion in MotoGP, is unlikely to make a return to action before the final round in Valencia as stated by medical staff.
Following a first-lap incident with Marco Bezzecchi in Mandalika, Marquez suffered ligament damage and a fracture to his right shoulder.
Even though it was confirmed that Marquez would miss the upcoming MotoGP races in Phillip Island and Malaysia, he has since undergone surgery for his injury.
The effects of the crash make it improbable for the current World Champion to return earlier than the season’s final round, with a comeback in Portimao also appearing unlikely.
Dr. Angel Charte, the MotoGP medical chief, mentioned that it would be challenging for Marquez to return in Portugal, as further injury complications could have long-lasting consequences.
