Andrea Dovizioso, a former Ducati rider and Yamaha test rider, warned that Ducati MotoGP rider Marc Marquez's right-shoulder injury from the 2025 Indonesian Grand Prix is more serious than it appears and may not have an easy solution.

Dovizioso, who finished runner-up to Marquez three times and now works on Yamaha's V4 engine project, told Moto.it after the US GP that "Marc is not a rider who complains" and that "his situation…is much more serious than it seems."
