Marquez avoids serious injury in heavy crash
Marc Marquez is set to race in qualifying at the Austrian MotoGP on Saturday just hours after damaging his shoulder in a heavy crash.
Championship leader Marquez was taken to hospital with a suspected dislocated left shoulder following a high speed fall at Turn 3 during the third practice session at the Red Bull Ring.
The steely Spaniard reportedly popped his shoulder back into place and revealed he had been given the all clear after making a quick dash for a scan.
Solo ha sido el susto! Todo ok! Con ganas de subirme a la moto!
