What a cracker of a start to the season. That wrist looks bad.

He took a beating. Not sure if shoulder, arm or wrist, but I don’t think we’ll see MM on the bike next week

[duccarlos]

But we can’t take anything away from Fabio. He dominated that race. No mistakes and just pulled ahead. I can tell you that MV is not going to try this soft front next week if the conditions are similar to today

[koko64]

I doubt it too, but he's a tough little bugger.
Dovi did a great salvage job, as a good tyre manager.
Jack will be gutted after riding a good race.

Yeah, Fabio will have a story to tell the kids and grandkids of his Covid maiden win.

Official Repsol Honda release.

"Marc Marquez suffers broken right humerus in Jerez

A fall at Turn 3 while fighting for the podium has resulted in a broken right humerus for the reigning World Champion, who will travel to Barcelona for surgery.

After mounting an incredible comeback in the Spanish GP, Marc Marquez suffered a high side at Turn 3 and came down heavily on his right arm. As a result, the eight-time World Champion has suffered a transverse diaphyseal fracture to his right humerus. MotoGP medical staff have confirmed there is no other serious head or thoracic trauma but will remain under observation for 12 hours.

Marquez will travel to the Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona on Monday, July 20 and is aiming to be operated on by Dr Xavier Mir and his team on Tuesday, July 21st.

Recovery time is as yet unknown, the Repsol Honda Team will provide an update after the operation."

Not his injury, just a x-ray of sample transverse diaphyseal fracture. He ain't racing next week.

After his turn 4 save I would have sworn the man was not human.

I hate to see him prove his humanity by getting injured. That was a vicious high side, and he got punted by the bike to boot.

[kopfjäger]

Unbelievable, is all I got.

Turn three is now known as Roswell.

Corner that finished Doohan too.

“Marc Marquez has suffered an injury it seems from a direct impact of the tyre to the right arm,” said MotoGP traumatology specialist Dr Xavier Mir, “resulting in a fracture to the shaft of the humerus, a complete fracture, although it isn’t completely displaced, with some possible paralysis of the radial nerve, although we’re not certain.

“This injury has been immobilised here for when they decide to move him to Barcelona to carry out a definitive treatment.”

Odds he'll be back at Austria?

Insane to see his save, watch him cut back through the field and then fly to the moon. That kid has got some kind of talent.

Bravo for Fabio. He also is a tremendous talent.

Great show of maturity and capitalizing on points by Dovi.

Anyone else see Rossi just kind of get the heck out of the way of MM?
