Marquez was visibly concealed and hospital checks revealed that the Spaniard had suffered a concussion, with doctors declaring him incapable of running.
“I am OK after the big crash I had this morning. Out of precautionary measures and in order to take no more risks, we decided not to run at the Indonesian GP,” Marquez wrote on Twitter.
“I want to thank every MotoGP medical team at Mataram Hospital for the treatment they received.”

The 29-year-old man fell twice in the qualifiers on Saturday. He should start from 14 on the grid after going up to a spot after Franco Morbidelli’s three-pointer grid penalty.
Marquez also had problems with double vision towards the end of the 2021 season following a concussion he suffered in a training accident. The Spaniard said before the 2022 season that doctors had advised him not to run any further.
Organizers reduced the race from 27 laps to 20 due to tire safety concerns caused by extreme heat on the Mandalika track and the start of the race was delayed due to torrential rain.
KTM rider Miguel Oliveira set up a wet weather masterclass and hosted world champion Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha to win Indonesia’s first Grand Prix since 1997.
