Marc Marquez’s huge crash during the second free pratice during the Italian GP where he lost control of his Honda at 337.
9 Km/H (209.
9 Mph) and according to Alpinestars (who supplies Marquez with his airbag leathers) suffered an impact of over 25g, the MotoGP rookie almost literally walked away from the horrific high speed incident with just a scraped chin and a crack in his humerus.
The Repsol Honda rider was able to continue for the rest of the weekend – albeit with some pain and weakness in his right arm – but his total crashes for the round added up to four, including the last one that saw him lose the second spot in the race with just three laps to go.
Following the race Marquez returned home to Barcelona and immediately went to the Hospital Universitario Quiron Dexeus to see Doctor Xavier Mir to undergo further medical tests who confirmed the initial diagnosis and verified that there are no other injuries.
Doctor Mir, Director of the Microsurgery and Surgery Department and in his role as part of the First Contact medical team that attends each Grand Prix, and was able to confirm the good condition of the Repsol Honda rider.
According to Doctor Xavier Mir: “Following the initial examination that we performed on Marc at Mugello, in which he underwent his first X-rays, we weren’t convinced about the condition of his right shoulder.
Today we have performed some more detailed X-rays on him, which confirm that the injury at the upper point of his humerus is minimal – a small fissure.
As such injuries can compromise the condition of tendons in the shoulder, we also gave him a Doppler ultrasound scan.
This ruled out any broken tendons.
What he does have is a small inflammation of the tendons, but this is something that can be treated in a matter of days with physiotherapy.
The progress in the 24 hours following the injury was very good.
At first he had some difficulty lifting his arm, but this has improved now.
He now only has some issues raising it sideways, which again is something that with physiotherapy he will completely recover from in time for the Catalan Grand Prix
