The reigning World Champions confirm the #93 won’t have a stand-in rider at the Catalan GP following his successful double surgery.

Ducati Lenovo Team have confirmed that Marc Marquez, who underwent successful surgery on Sunday following his Tissot Sprint crash at the French Grand Prix, won’t be replaced this weekend at the Monster Energy Grand Prix of Catalunya.

The reigning World Champion has begun his recovery after a double surgical procedure on his right foot and shoulder in Madrid, and, given the short turnaround from Le Mans to Barcelona, Francesco Bagnaia will be the only rider in factory Ducati colours at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

We continue to wish the seven-time MotoGP World Champion a speedy recovery and await further news on when we’ll see the 2025 title winner back in action.
