Marc Marquez has fractured his upper right arm in a highside during the Jerez race.
The Repsol Honda rider was flicked off his bike during an epic comeback charge through the field after an earlier mistake in the race. He fell badly, and examinations in hospital at Jerez found a fractured humerus.
The Spaniard is to have an operation to fix the bone in Barcelona on Tuesday. However, it seems unlikely that he will be fit for the next race on Sunday 26th July, with the potential of losing 50 points in the championship.
How soon he will return after that is also uncertain. A defense of his 2019 MotoGP title now seems almost impossible.
