Jorge Martin: From Heaven to Hell
Coming into the season as the reigning World Champion, the Spaniard endured a nightmare year, as injury derailed his debut campaign with Aprilia
The 2026 MotoGP season remains deep in its European stretch this week as the paddock heads to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the Catalan Grand Prix, one of the calendar’s most technically demanding rounds and the second Spanish circuit of the season.
Ahead of all the exciting high-speed action, live on SPOTV NOW, here are five key facts to know.
Home sweet home
While Jerez is widely regarded as the de facto home circuit for Spanish riders, Montmelo is the true backyard round for several riders who were born in Catalonia. The Marquez brothers are from nearby Cervera, Maverick Vinales hails from Figueres and Alex Rins was born in Barcelona itself, making the Catalan Grand Prix one of the most personal weekends of the season for the local contingent.
Marc Marquez will miss the Catalan Grand Prix for the third time in his premier-class career following his heavy crash at Le Mans. The six-time MotoGP world champion previously sat out the 2020 and 2022 editions while recovering from arm surgeries, with Stefan Bradl replacing him on both occasions.
While no confirmation yet, Ducati are expected to call upon veteran test rider Michele Pirro, who already made a substitute appearance earlier this season when he replaced Fermin Aldeguer at BK8 Gresini Racing during the Thailand opener.
When Alex Marquez took the chequered flag in 2025, he not only secured his first MotoGP victory at Montmelo but also became the only rider in the modern era to win the Catalan Grand Prix in all three classes. The Spaniard previously triumphed in Moto3 in 2014 before adding Moto2 victories in 2017 and 2019.
When Alex converted pole position into victory last year, he became just the fourth rider in the past 20 years to achieve the feat at the Catalan Grand Prix. The statistic highlights how unpredictable races at Montmelo can be, where tyre preservation, race pace and slipstream battles into Turn 1 often prove more decisive than outright qualifying speed.
Football meets MotoGP
Few MotoGP weekends blend football and motorsport quite like the Catalan Grand Prix. Players and personalities linked to FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol have become regular visitors in the paddock over the years. Recent editions have also featured the likes of Carles Puyol, Joan Garcia and Marcos Alonso taking part in chequered-flag duties.
Marc Marquez’s latest crash at the 2026 French Grand Prix has added another chapter to one of the most injury-interrupted careers in modern MotoGP.
The Ducati rider suffered a fractured foot and aggravated shoulder damage during the sprint race at Le Mans, ruling him out of at least the French and Catalan rounds.
While Marquez remains one of MotoGP’s defining riders with six premier-class world titles, much of the latter half of his career has been shaped by repeated injuries and recovery battles.
From his debut in 2013 through the opening round of the pandemic-affected 2020 season, the Spaniard remarkably did not miss a single premier-class race despite numerous heavy crashes, compiling a streak of 129 consecutive starts.
That streak ended with his career-altering crash at Jerez in 2020, where he fractured his right humerus. The injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season and triggered years of complications, including multiple surgeries, recurring diplopia episodes, fractures and persistent shoulder problems.
Between 2020 and 2023, Marquez missed 30 Grands Prix as he battled through repeated recovery attempts and physical setbacks. Questions increasingly emerged over whether he could return to competing consistently at the front of the field.
A turning point came in 2024 following his move to Gresini Racing after ending his long association with Repsol Honda. Riding a year-old Ducati, Marquez contested every round for the first time since 2019 and re-established himself as a regular podium contender and race winner.
The resurgence earned him a promotion to Ducati’s factory team for 2025, immediately placing him back into championship contention. But injuries again interrupted his momentum after shoulder damage sustained at the Indonesian Grand Prix ruled him out of the final four rounds of the season.
Now, his latest absence in 2026 marks the second major injury interruption since reviving his career aboard Ducati machinery, and raises doubts about whether Marquez can complete a full championship campaign consistently in the closing phase of his career.
Even so, writing off Marquez has rarely proven wise. His resilience continues to shape his legacy as much as his six premier-class titles. Few riders in modern MotoGP have repeatedly returned from career-threatening injuries to win races and contend for championships again.
As Marquez recovers from his latest setback, below is a season-by-season breakdown of his MotoGP injury history, including the races he missed and the injuries sustained throughout his career.

The 2026 PGA Championship is set to tee off from May 14 to 17 at Aronimink Golf Club, where a 156-player field will compete for one of golf’s most prestigious prizes, the Wanamaker Trophy.
LIV Golf will once again have a strong presence at the season’s second men’s major, although the contingent has been reduced to 11 following Phil Mickelson’s withdrawal due to family reasons.
With LIV Golf players continuing to contend at the majors, attention will again turn to whether one of them can challenge for the title on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
Fans can watch all four rounds of the PGA Championship, as well as LIV Golf events throughout the season, live on SPOTV NOW.

The 2026 Wimbledon Championships are less than two months away, but several high-profile players are already facing uncertainty over their participation at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Injuries and prolonged absences have disrupted the seasons of multiple ATP and WTA stars, with some already missing key clay-court events, including Roland Garros.
With the grass-court swing offering only a short preparation period, concerns are growing over whether some of the sport’s biggest names will be fit in time for the 139th edition of Wimbledon.
Alcaraz is the biggest name currently facing uncertainty ahead of Wimbledon. The seven-time Grand Slam champion has pulled out of Roland Garros because of a wrist injury that had already forced him to retire during the Barcelona Open before subsequently skipping Madrid and Rome.
Despite the setback, the Spaniard and his team are reportedly targeting a return during the grass-court season, meaning Wimbledon remains a realistic objective if his recovery progresses well.
After returning to the ATP Tour in February following a six-month absence caused by a severe bone bruise, Draper has suffered another setback during the Barcelona Open after injuring his knee.
The British left-hander has confirmed he would miss the remainder of the clay-court season, including Roland Garros, leaving his participation at his home Grand Slam in doubt.
Anisimova has been dealing with a wrist injury since her defeat to Belinda Bencic at the Miami Open in March. The world number six initially appeared ready to return at the Italian Open in Rome but was forced to withdraw shortly before her opening match.
With limited match action over the last two months, questions remain over whether the American will be fully prepared for the demands of the grass-court season and Wimbledon.
Amanda Anisimova has withdrawn due to a left wrist injury. Elena Gabriela Ruse takes her place in the draw as a lucky loser.
We wish Amanda a speedy recovery 💪#IBI26

Markéta Vondroušová
Vondroušová’s injury-hit 2026 campaign has made her one of the biggest question marks ahead of Wimbledon. The 2023 champion has struggled with persistent physical problems and has withdrawn from several WTA tournaments throughout the season.
One of her most recent competitive appearances came in doubles during the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers in April, and there is still no confirmed timeline for a full singles return.
The former US Open champion has recently pulled out of Madrid and Rome because of a post-viral illness that sidelined her for nearly two months.
Despite the interruption, Raducanu has remained optimistic about returning during the clay season and is targeting a comeback at Strasbourg ahead of Roland Garros. If she can regain fitness in time, Wimbledon is still expected to remain one of her main goals for the season.
