Marc Marquez sustained a right shoulder fracture on Sunday after Marco Bezzecchi collided with the Ducati rider at Turn 7 during the Indonesian Grand Prix. The crash occurred one week after Marquez secured the 2025 MotoGP championship, and the injury affects the same shoulder that required four surgeries following a 2020 crash at the Jerez circuit. Dr. Angel Charte confirmed the fracture, but specialists in Madrid will determine whether additional surgery is necessary after conducting detailed scans on Monday.
Alex Marquez criticized the Mandalika circuit's gravel traps following the incident, describing the runoff areas as hazardous due to uneven surfaces. The Gresini rider argued that safety improvements are essential as the season schedule has expanded to 44 race starts between Grand Prix events and Sprint races. Bezzecchi's mistake eliminated both riders from the race, and the collision marked the third time in four visits that Marquez had crashed at the Indonesian venue.
