MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has undergone surgery on the injury he sustained at last weekend’s Indonesian Grand Prix – a course of action it appears his medical team initially hoped to avoid
MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has recently undergone surgery for the injury he suffered at the Indonesian Grand Prix, despite efforts initially made to avoid it through conservative treatment. The decision for surgery was made after it became apparent that stabilizing his shoulder alone was not yielding the desired results. Marquez’s medical team decided to proceed with surgical stabilization and repair of the acromioclavicular ligaments due to the risk of residual instability. The crash did not cause any fresh damage to the areas of his right arm previously injured in 2020, which kept him sidelined for an extended period. Marquez will miss at least the next two MotoGP rounds in Australia and Malaysia, with test rider Michele Pirro stepping in for him. His return to racing will depend on his recovery progress, with no definite timeline provided by Ducati yet.
