Marc Marquez to have another shoulder surgery after foot injury at Le Mans

Marc Marquez set for another shoulder surgery after Le Mans crash

After the race, the focus shifted to Marquez and his condition. Speaking to DAZN Espana after the Sprint, Marquez revealed he already had a surgery scheduled for after next weekend’s race.

“Well, that was one of the reasons I was taking it easy this weekend. I was bound to have a crash at any moment, and this has resulted in me breaking my fifth metacarpal.

“I already had surgery scheduled after Catalunya for my right shoulder. Because, well, this season I’m having more problems than usual. You could see it; I tried to convince myself otherwise, but after Jerez I realised something wasn’t working, that something wasn’t right.

“We went to the doctors and, well, they could see that after the crash in Indonesia, everything is fine, but that famous screw that was broken in my shoulder, in the scapula, is now in a different position. I had a very strange feeling because at home I was fine, I’d come here and things would go wrong.

“So I thought I was mentally blocked, I get blocked. But they saw that in the screw, which is in a different position, was touching my radial nerve and, well, that’s what makes me make mistakes, makes me inconsistent, causes me to have unexpected crashes.

“That’s why I was very calm all weekend, so, well, we’ll do it all in one go. I need to recover properly and from there try to keep up the momentum of building my future.”

The Honda rider injured his right shoulder during an incident with Marco Bezzecchi at Mandalika back in 2025.

Michael Laverty says Marc Marquez is a ‘shadow’ of his former self

After Marquez’s crash, Laverty raised concerns about whether he still has the strength to manage the bike and suggested he’s a shadow of the rider he once was.

Laverty said on TNT Sports: “Yeah, Marc has always astounded us, but I don’t know why at the moment it just feels reminiscent of the year at Repsol, when he decided to call it a day to get things right.

“In terms of his rehab and recovery of his arm, look, he is limping, he is feeling it, he hasn’t given the full extent of how much he is struggling.

“He’s said it’s me physically that is not being able to force this bike right now, and you see things like that, maybe he is lacking a bit of strength to fight it when it locks.

“He hasn’t been in front of his bike as he has been in the past; fingers crossed, he can turn it around. We want to see Marc back to how he delivered that title last year. At the moment, he is a shadow of his former self.”
