PORTIMAO, Portugal (AP) — Marc Márquez has injured his right hand after crashing out of the season-opening Portuguese Moto Grand Prix. Márquez hurt his hand when he went down hard Sunday after slamming into the back of Miguel Oliveira’s bike. His Honda team said that the six-time MotoGP world champion has a “possible fracture to the first metacarpal of his right hand.” The race was won by defending champion Francesco Bagnaia. Race officials penalized Márquez for what they ruled “irresponsible riding.” He will serve a double long lap penalty at the next Argentina GP if he is fit to race.
