Ducati’s Marc Marquez is set to miss the upcoming French and Catalan MotoGP races after suffering a fracture in his foot. Multiple reports say the injury comes from a crash during a race, when Marquez was involved in a highside in a late-stage sprint and was thrown from his bike as it cartwheeled. He landed beside the motorcycle and subsequently sustained the fracture. The team and medical assessment determine that the injury will prevent him from taking part in the next two events on the calendar, meaning his recovery time is not expected to be sufficient for those races. The reports also indicate the incident details closely match across outlets, describing the nature of the crash and the landing from which the fracture resulted. With Marquez sidelined, Ducati will proceed with its remaining rider lineup for the French GP and the Catalan GP while awaiting updates on his condition and timeline for return to competition.
