Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez is battling lingering effects from his broken right shoulder while still holding fourth in the standings with 200 points. Since the injury in the Bezzecchi collision at Mandalika in October 2025, he can't sleep on his right side and has given up padel because he can't control his right hand. He said he "lost control of his right arm" mid-race at Silverstone, yet has still signed a contract extension with Ducati through 2028.

I've watched plenty of riders hide their pain and still race. Can't sleep on his right side, can't even hold a padel racket, yet he's fourth in the standings. That contradiction is exactly what top riders are made of. Admitting he "lost control of his arm" at Silverstone actually shows strength, not weakness.

Losing arm control mid-race sounds like a real red flag to me.

He's always been the type to push too hard, always worrying about him.

Fourth place while in that much pain — his mentality is insane.

200 points for P4 is a genuinely strong number either way.

Shoulder's a mess and he's signed through 2028? Seriously worried.

Honestly the bigger issue is the team letting him push through this.
