Marc Marquez was said to be in tears following his heavy crash at the French Grand Prix on Saturday, according to a report.
Marquez had been running seventh in the Sprint race before he was thrown from his bike, resulting in a fractured fifth metatarsal.
He later confirmed to reporters that he would need surgery on his foot, alongside a previously planned shoulder operation. This means he will miss next weekendâs Catalan Grand Prix, his home race.

Speaking to Spanish television after the race, Marquez said that if he did break down, it would be away from the cameras and with his family.
But, as reported by El Periodico, he was seen visibly upset as he left the Le Mans clinic alongside his personal assistant, Jose Luis Martinez, and MotoGP medical director, Angel Charte.
The latest injury comes on the back of a tough stretch for Marquez, who has only managed to complete one of the past seven seasons due to multiple injuries. His troubles began with a broken arm at Jerez in 2020, which required four surgeries and ended his title defence early.
After spending several years trying to get back into shape and form, Marquez finally reached full fitness in 2024. He capped off his return by winning another championship last year but then picked up a shoulder injury just one race into this season.
