Marc Marquez has been injured after a collision with Marco Bezzecchi on the opening lap of the Indonesian Grand Prix.

A week after he claimed his seventh MotoGP World Championship, Marc Marquez suffered a shoulder injury after a collision with Marco Bezzecchi on the opening lap of the Indonesian Grand Prix.

Bezzecchi caused the contact between himself and the factory Ducati rider at Turn Seven, as the Italian collided with the rear of the Spaniard's machine.

After rolling through the gravel, Marquez was slow to get up and was careful with his right arm. The nine-time World Champion was unable to remove his gloves or helmet, and before gesturing to his shoulder when Bezzecchi approached him.

Marquez was immediately taken to the Mandalika medical centre after he made his way out of the gravel.

Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi said: "There is evidence of a break on the right shoulder, but we need to do a [scan] to investigate deeper and understand if it's necessary to do an operation or not."

An official statement from Ducati confirmed:

"As a result of today’s crash in Mandalika, Marc Marquez has suffered an injury to his right collarbone. The Spanish rider will travel tonight to Madrid (Spain) for further medical tests and to decide on the treatment to follow."

"The ligaments in my collarbone are broken..."

After leaving the medical centre, Marquez briefly spoke to the media as he walked through the paddock with his arm in a sling.

However, Marquez revealed some potential bad news for the remainder of his season: "It looks like the ligaments in my collarbone are broken."

Luckily for Marquez, the title race is over, but the remainder of his season will now be in doubt. With two rounds before the Australian Grand Prix, it will remain to be seen if he can race at Phillip Island.
