Marc Márquez’s latest major issue was an injury scare in 2025: he ended that season early after a crash in Indonesia left him with a shoulder/collarbone- type injury and ligament damage, and he chose recovery over racing the remaining rounds. More recently, in March 2026, Ducati reported that he had a hard crash in US MotoGP practice but that there was nothing broken and it was “just a skin problem,” so he could ride again despite pain.

Quick scoop

  • In 2025, Márquez won his seventh premier-class title but then crashed in Indonesia and was ruled out for the rest of the season.
  • The injury required a cautious recovery plan, including immobilization and rehab before returning to full fitness.
  • In 2026, he had another crash at the US Grand Prix practice session, but the team said there were no fractures.

What people mean by “what happened”

If you’re asking why he’s been in the news, it’s mainly because of the long injury story that has followed him for years, plus the recent 2025 season- ending setback and the 2026 practice crash.

Current status

As of the latest reports, the big story is that he is still dealing with the physical toll of racing, but the March 2026 incident was not a major broken- bone injury. His camp described the healing process as ongoing and focused on getting him fully ready to keep racing.
