Marc Marquez To Miss Argentina - And Avoid Double Long Lap Penalty Marc Marquez is to miss the Argentina round of MotoGP after having surgery on the thumb he fractured in the crash in which he clipped Jorge Martin and hit Miguel Oliveira. Marquez had surgery on Sunday night, after returning to Barcelona.

Missing the race in Argentina will also mean he will not have to serve the Long Lap Penalty imposed by the FIM Stewards for causing the crash. The wording of Long Lap Penalties always specifically names the event in which the penalty is to be served.

That was the case for Fabio Quartararo after the Dutch TT in Assen in 2022, for example, who had to serve a Long Lap Penalty at the following race in Silverstone. Ayumu Sasaki was handed a Long Lap Penalty in Argentina in 2022, after causing a crash at the previous round in Indonesia. All the others I checked also specifically named the grand prix in which the penalty was to be served.
