Marc Marquez's announcement that he will be going for more surgery on his right arm was the main talking point from the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix.
Badly breaking his right arm in a crash at Jerez in 2020, Marquez has struggled ever since his return to racing in April of 2021 and will go to America this week to have a fourth major operation on his right humerus.
