Ducati team confirmed that reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez had a successful double surgery in Madrid after a crash during the sprint race at the French Grand Prix.
Marquez suffered a violent accident at the Le Mans circuit, leading to a broken foot after he was thrown from his bike, which flipped in the air before landing beside him. The 33-year-old Spanish rider had originally planned to undergo shoulder surgery following the Catalan Grand Prix early next week, but the crash forced a schedule change, prompting him to have both procedures at once.
Ducati said in a statement: “The medical team successfully stabilized the fracture in the metatarsal bone of Marquez’s right foot.”
