Alex Marquez<\/a> has successfully undergone surgery on his fractured right collarbone following a serious crash in the Catalan Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Gresini<\/a> MotoGP rider fell heavily on the ground after colliding with race leader\u00a0Pedro Acosta<\/a>, whose KTM developed a sudden electrical issue on the run down to Turn 10.<\/p>\n

Marquez suffered a fracture to his right collarbone, for which a plate was inserted to stabilise it, pending emergency surgery. Motorsport.com learned on Monday, during the in-season test in Barcelona, that the younger of the Marquez brothers has already undergone surgery and that it was successful.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard is set to return to Madrid this afternoon, where he will begin his rehabilitation. There is still no detailed timeline for his recovery.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that he suffered another injury,\u00a0a minor fracture of the C7 vertebra; however, he has not undergone surgery for it. Regarding that injury, \u201cfurther tests will be conducted\u201d this week, as the Gresini team explained in a press release on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The situation was somewhat better for LCR’s Johann Zarco<\/a>, whose leg got caught in Francesco Bagnaia<\/a>‘s as part of a three-way incident that also involved Luca Marini<\/a> in the first restart. According to his team LCR<\/a>, the Frenchman “sustained injuries to the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament, and to the medial meniscus. He also suffered a small fibula tear in the ankle area.”<\/p>\n

Both, naturally, are missing Monday\u2019s test in Barcelona, as is race winner Fabio Di Giannantonio<\/a>, the third rider involved in the accident involving Acosta and Alex Marquez, due to an injury to his left hand.<\/p>\n
