• Marini remains hospitalized in Japan with a pneumothorax and multiple fractures including a dislocated hip, damaged knee ligaments and broken collarbone.
• His lung injury bars standard air travel and will require a medically supervised repatriation flight back to Europe.
• Recovery projections indicate he will sit out six to seven MotoGP weekends, mirroring Jorge Martin’s three-month layoff after a similar crash.
• His absence during a pivotal mid-season stretch could shift Honda’s championship prospects and prompt lineup adjustments.
• With his Honda deal ending in 2025, riders Jorge Martin and Johann Zarco are now leading candidates to fill his seat.
