Marc Marquez, who underwent surgery on his right collarbone after a fall in the Indonesian Grand Prix, will not be able to compete in the Valencia Grand Prix, scheduled for mid-November. His team, Ducati, announced that he will need to spend four weeks with his arm immobilized before starting rehabilitation, making his return this season impossible.
Marquez, who became world champion again in 2025, was also forced to withdraw from competitions in Australia and Malaysia. He will also miss the races in Portugal and Valencia. Despite his absence, Marquez emphasizes the achievement of becoming world champion and hopes that his absence will allow other riders to shine, as was the case with Raul Fernandez, who secured his first career victory in Australia.
