Marquez dislocates shoulder during title celebrations

Marc Marquez bizarrely dislocated his shoulder as he celebrated his fifth MotoGP world title following his victory at Motegi in Japan.

The Honda rider was greeted by Britain’s Scott Redding on his slow down lap and the pair embraced, with Marquez soon realising something was amiss.

He explained: “I was very happy and I arrived there, and I didn’t know anything about the celebration. I was out of control, like on the track! No, a joke, but Scott (Redding) stopped and I hugged him and I feel something strange, and dislocated my shoulder.
