Luca Marini, who collided with team-mate Marco Bezzecchi at the start of Saturday's Indian MotoGP Sprint race, has been diagnosed with a left collarbone fracture.
Marini, whose rear wheel was seen high in the air as he tried frantically to avoid hitting the back of Bezzecchi, will now be taken to a hospital for further medical checks.
Pole qualifier Bezzecchi rejoined at the back of the field after the Turn 1 incident, before fighting his way up to fifth.Like Marquez, Marini is now almost certain to also miss next weekend's Japanese round at Motegi. The FIM Stewards later handed Marini a long lap penalty, to be served in the Italian's next MotoGP race, for 'aggressive contact with another rider at Turn 1 which severely impacted his race'.
Marini wasn't the only rider on the ground at turn 1 with Stefan Bradl clipping Augusto Fernandez before bringing down Pol Espargaro. The FIM Stewards deemed that to be a 'race incident'.
