The incident took place in the early stages of FP3 at the Red Bull Ring. It certainly couldn’t have got much closer between the two Honda bikes!

Marquez dislocated his shoulder but it popped back into place. He returned to the pits but was then taken to hospital for checks.

Update

The two-time MotoGP champion was checked over and given the all-clear to return to the track and qualify for the Austrian GP. Good stuff!

They do but it doesn’t help if you fall shoulder first on the ground.
