(Adds details on Bezzecchi injury, quotes) MANDALIKA, Indonesia, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Ducati's MotoGP champion Marc Marquez suffered a collarbone injury as a result of a collision with Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi on the opening lap of the Indonesian Grand Prix on Sunday, his team said. Bezzecchi collided with the rear of Marquez's Ducati and the pair both hurtled into the gravel at high speed, with Marquez appearing to be in significant discomfort after tumbling head over heels. The Spaniard, who won his seventh MotoGP championship at last week's Japanese Grand Prix, was hunched over on the side of the track for a couple of minutes before staggering to his feet and lurching away while clutching his shoulder. EVIDENCE OF FRACTURE Marquez was later seen with his arm in a sling, with members of Ducati team saying on the race's broadcast that there was evidence of a fracture after initial scans. "As a result of today's crash at Indonesian GP, Marc Marquez has suffered an injury to his right collarbone," Ducati said in a statement on social media. "The Spanish rider will travel tonight to Madrid (Spain) for further medical tests and to decide on the treatment to follow." The injury was on the shoulder of the arm Marquez fractured in the 2020 July season-opening Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, which ruled him out for an extended period and required several surgeries. "Not the best way to celebrate the championship," Marquez told reporters after the race. "In the end, Marco Bezzecchi already came to me and said sorry. This happens. It's something that sometimes I will do, sometimes somebody else will do, but it was not on purpose. So, Marco accepts it was his fault. "We will fly to Madrid and try to understand with the doctors exactly what is wrong and try to come back as soon as possible." BEZZECCHI ESCAPES MAJOR INJURY Aprilia said Bezzecchi was taken to hospital to undergo a more comprehensive examination following the crash where he was given the all-clear. "After the medical examinations, no fractures have been found for Marco Bezzecchi," Aprilia said in a statement. Marquez's Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, Joan Mir (Honda HRC) and Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) also crashed out of Sunday's race, won by Gresini Racing rookie Fermin Aldeguer. While Marquez can afford to miss the last four rounds of the season having already sealed the title , Bezzecchi still has the opportunity to finish third overall ahead of Francesco Bagnaia and possibly fight with Alex Marquez for second. Alex sits on 362 points while Bagnaia (274) is third, just 20 points ahead of Bezzecchi in the standings. The next race is the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks.

* OPEC+ countries to hold meeting at 1100 GMT on Sunday * Countries agree in principle on 137,000 bpd hike, sources say * Saudi Arabia, Russia had different views ahead of Sunday (Recasts on agreement in principle) By Olesya Astakhova and Dmitry Zhdannikov LONDON/MOSCOW, Oct 5 (Reuters) – OPEC+ will raise oil output from November by 137,000 barrels per day (bpd), the same fairly modest increase as in October, three people close to the matter said on Sunday. The group comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia and some smaller producers has increased its oil output targets by more than 2.6 million bpd this year, equating to about 2.5% of global demand. The shift in policy after years of cuts is designed to regain market share from rivals such as U.S. shale producers. OPEC+ has agreed in principle on a 137,000 bpd increase, three OPEC+ sources said ahead of an online meeting scheduled for 1100 GMT on Sunday. In the build up to the meeting, Russia and Saudi Arabia, the two biggest producers in the OPEC+ group, had different views, sources have said. Russia was advocating for a modest output increase, the same as in October, to avoid pressuring oil prices and because it would struggle to raise output owing to sanctions over its war in Ukraine, two sources said this week. Saudi Arabia would have preferred double, triple or even quadruple that figure – 274,000 bpd, 411,000 bpd or 548,000 bpd respectively, sources said ahead of the meeting. OPEC+ output cuts had peaked in March, amounting to 5.85 million bpd in total. The cuts were made up of three elements: voluntary cuts of 2.2 million bpd, 1.65 million bpd by eight members and a further 2 million bpd by the whole group. The eight producers plan to fully unwind one element of those cuts – 2.2 million bpd – by the end of September. For October, they started removing the second layer of 1.65 million bpd with the increase of 137,000 bpd.
