Alex Marquez suffered a neck vertebra fracture and a right collarbone fracture in his horror crash during MotoGP’s Catalan Grand Prix
During MotoGP’s Catalan Grand Prix, Alex Marquez suffered a neck vertebra fracture and a right collarbone fracture in a horrific crash.
His collarbone will be operated on Sunday, while his neck injury will need further evaluation next week as per his Gresini team.
Marquez was in a battle for the lead at Barcelona when a sudden issue with Pedro Acosta’s KTM forced him to change direction abruptly to avoid a serious collision.
Subsequently, Marquez’s Ducati went off-track uncontrollably, leading to a hard impact on the ground and lengthy on-scene treatment.
Diagnosed with a “marginal fracture” of his seventh cervical vertebra, Marquez will have his collarbone fracture stabilized with a plate, according to Gresini.
Details on the condition of Johann Zarco, who was involved in another significant accident in the race, are pending further examinations on his left leg.
