Marc Marquez revealed that years of surgery on his right shoulder and arm have left him unable to play padel with his dominant hand, and that switching to his left hand didn't work either.

It's honestly messed up that a guy who's had that much surgery on his arm can still throw a MotoGP bike around. 2019 shoulder, 2020 humerus fracture, the aftermath from the 2025 Indonesia crash — and somehow the feel in his fingers on the throttle came back. He can't hold a padel racket but he can ride a factory bike. That contradiction is what a pro's body looks like. Trackside, it's not even funny.

Good that he's kept up cycling, at least within what his body can take.

Can't play padel but can ride a MotoGP bike? Come on, really?

Grip strength and riding inputs are different systems, so it checks out.

Followed him for years and never realized his arm was this bad.

Not even able to switch to his left hand — that's serious damage.

With surgeries stacking up since 2019, the long-term damage is a different level.
