Marc Marquez opens up on Austin MotoGP injury struggles

Defending MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has revealed the injury struggles he faced at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas last month, where a high-speed crash during Friday practice contributed to one of his worst recent race weekends. The incident aggravated ongoing right-side body issues stemming from his 2020 crash at Jerez and a further fall at the Indonesian Grand Prix last season. Speaking to media ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez on April 24, 2026, Marquez stated he is now back to full fitness.
