Neil Hodgson thinks Marc Marquez ‘done’ in MotoGP title fight after Le Mans sprint crash

During the race, there were many accidents, with riders such as Franco Morbidelli, Inea Bastianini and Jonas Folger all crashing.

However, the biggest crash of the sprint involved seven-time champion Marquez, who went up at turn 13 as he tried to stay on the back of Honda’s Luca Marini.

After the session, it was confirmed that Marquez will undergo surgery to solve shoulder and leg problems. He will miss the rest of the French Grand Prix weekend and next week’s race in Barcelona.

Speaking after the sprint, TNT Sports analyst Hodgson Bezcicci said he was worried about Martin, who is now just six points behind in the standings.

Meanwhile, Hodgson says Marquez is unlikely to win the 2026 MotoGP title after his massive crash.

“You know what? He’s starting to worry, I’d say. Because now you’re not thinking about Marc Marquez, it’s between him and Marc Marquez,” Hodgson said.

“Not now, Mark’s not done, I mean for the season, it’s like in the championship.”

Silvan Guintoli says Marc Marquez’s crash at Le Mans was ‘disturbing’.

Commenting on Marquez’s danger, Guintoli said that despite the Spaniard’s strong physique, the amount of hits he was taking would eventually hurt him.

“It’s a concern because everything adds up,” Guintoli said, “when you get the bill and add that many extras on top of it, it’s expensive.”

“The problem with Mark, the way he rides and the way he’s at the limit, when he goes, he’s normally big. I know his body is strong, but he’s taking a lot of hits, and he’s got some old injuries, and he’s hitting them.”
