The MotoGP rider, Alex Márquez, is considering the possibility of undergoing surgery for the discomfort caused by the fracture of his right clavicle, an analysis that could result in him missing the next race at the Qatar GP.
Márquez, who currently competes with the Gresini team, is considering returning directly from Kuala Lumpur to Madrid this Sunday to undergo the procedure. The surgery, initially planned for the end of the season, would involve removing a plate that has caused him discomfort for weeks.
The rider has been suffering from constant pain, particularly due to the bursitis he has developed in the injured area. ‘We are evaluating options with Dr. Samuel Antuna, not only regarding the plate but also for other complications arising from the injury,’ Márquez stated.
These discomforts have forced him to receive injections before each race since his return after an accident in Barcelona. ‘I have had a very difficult situation since the fall, and the impact was very strong, with an operation that was quickly performed to try to return to competition,’ the rider explained.
In 2027, Márquez will change manufacturers and join the KTM team. His top priority is to recover completely to be in the last two races of the season in Portimao and Valencia, as well as participate in the Valencia test where he will be able to try the 850cc prototype under the new regulations.
In the last race, the Malaysia GP, Márquez fell while leading the event, noting that the accident did not worsen his previous injury. He admitted to making a small mistake at a moment of great pressure due to the difficult track conditions.
