MANDALIKA, Indonesia :Ducati's Marc Marquez suffered a collarbone injury as a result of a collision with Marco Bezzecchi at the Indonesia Grand Prix on Sunday, his team said.

In the first lap of the race, Bezzecchi collided with the rear of Marquez's Ducati and the pair both hurtled into the gravel at high speed, with Marquez appearing to be in significant discomfort after tumbling head over heels.

The Spaniard, who won his seventh MotoGP championship at last week's Japanese Grand Prix, was hunched over on the side of the track for a couple of minutes before staggering to his feet and lurching away while clutching his shoulder.

He was later seen with his arm in a sling, with members of Ducati team saying on the race's broadcast that there was evidence of a fracture after initial scans.
