Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) has been penalized for contact with Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) on the first lap of the Grand Prix d’Indonesia, in which they both ended up on the ground, the Spaniard injured and forced to skip a few rounds of the rainbow due to a right shoulder problem that required surgery.

In Australia, the Romagnolo will have to serve two long laps. The decision was made by the FIM MotoGP Stewards after speaking with the number 72 today at Phillip Island, where the 19th round of the 2025 season will be held. It had not been possible in Indonesia. For the Italian, it is the second such incident caused this season. He will have to serve the penalty in Sunday&#8217s race.

Marc Marquez meanwhile underwent surgery this week: “After a check on his injured right shoulder, Marc Márquez underwent successful surgery at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, Spain.”

“Therefore, given the risk of residual instability, it was decided to proceed with surgical stabilization and repair of the acromioclavicular ligaments. Marc Márquez, who is already at home, will continue his recovery process and his progress will determine the timing of his return to competition. We wish you all the best, champ!” the note ends.
