Ducati Lenovo's Marc Marquez has opened up about the lingering effects of the right shoulder fracture he suffered at the 2025 Indonesian Grand Prix. Despite surgery in May and three wins since that have cut his title deficit from 102 to 40 points, he says he can only sleep on his left side or his back and visits a physiotherapist more often than he'd like. He has also had to give up playing padel with his right arm.

Fingertip feel on the throttle means nothing if the shoulder won't cooperate. Still, cutting a 102-point gap down to 40 tells you he knows how to make peace with pain. Hearing that behind that riding is a life where he even has to think about which side he sleeps on — I've got nothing but respect.

Three wins since surgery is an absurd pace.

Having to limit which side you sleep on sounds rough.

The bit about giving up padel hit hardest for me.

Cutting a 102-point gap to 40 is wild.

Still winning through this is what makes Marquez scary.
