Reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez sustained a right collarbone fracture after colliding with Marco Bezzecchi on Sunday at the Indonesian Grand Prix in Mandalika. Medical Director Dr. Angel Charte confirmed the injury affects the same arm that underwent multiple previous surgeries, and Marquez will travel to Madrid for evaluation at Hospital Universitari Dexeus. Bezzecchi apologized for causing the contact, and race officials are reviewing the incident for potential penalties.
Marquez said the ligament damage could have been worse, but the injury may end his season despite already securing the 2025 championship with 25 wins and 31 podiums. The Spanish rider praised Bezzecchi for apologizing and acknowledged that racing accidents are a part of the sport. Recovery timelines will depend on specialist assessments in Madrid, and doctors will determine whether the fracture requires surgery or conservative treatment.
