Marquez Breaks Leg

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by Red998, Feb 20, 2014.

  1. Just saw these two tweets on Twitter for those that have not yet heard the news.


    Spoken to Livio Suppo - Marquez definitely out for testing. Broken leg. No surgery needed at the moment.


    Oops! Marquez out for the next 3-4 weeks with a spiral fracture of his right fibula in a dirt track crash in training. Shud be ok for Qatar.

  5. He had to break something eventually. Wish him a speedy recovery and although I like watching tight racing, the series is far better for having him in it

  14. Its still going to be a brave man to bet he doesnt win round 1. Kids got talent and I hope he recovers quickly.

  16. he's only 21 - he'll heal very quickly. I don't see a small spiral fracture of his tibia stopping him being obscenely competitive by race one. I agree Jimmy! I bet he would soon have the Ducati winning like Casey did!

  17. In the music and acting world "break a leg" is said to a performer before they go on stage, meaning "good luck".
    Not sure it applies to Moto GP though.

  18. Fibula is a non-weightbearing bone anyway.
