Marquez was the first rider to set out on slick tires on the drying track about six minutes before the end of the session, and when he headed into the Ramshoek his RC213V pitched him off at about 186 km/h and then landed on him.

The MotoGP rider returned to his box and then went to the Clinica Mobile where he underwent x-rays and was diagnosed with a micro-fracture his right pinky finger and fracture to the big toe of his right foot.

Despite his injuries, Marquez is still expected to take part in this afternoon’s Q2 session.
