Marc Márquez will run the Grand Prix of the Americas

MADRID, 6 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Spanish rider Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda) will be able to race this weekend at the Austin circuit (United States), scene of the Grand Prix of the Americas, the fourth round of the Motorcycle World Championship, after having received the go-ahead from the doctors and having left behind a new episode of diplopia.

As reported by his team on Wednesday, the team from Cervera “has received a medical discharge to return to competition” after recovering from the double vision he suffered again after his heavy fall in the ‘warm up’ of the Indonesian Grand Prix.

The eight-time world champion was unable to race on the Mandalika track due to the blow he received, which caused him diplopia again, so he was also unable to be at Termas de Río Hondo last week for the Argentine Grand Prix.

Now, after following “the planned treatment” and confirming his sensations and his vision by training with a Honda CBR600RR at the Alcarrás circuit (Lleida), he will be able to travel to the United States to contest an appointment that he has won in seven of his eight visits, only failing in 2019 when it hit the ground.

“I am very happy to return, it is a great feeling and especially to do it in one of my favorite circuits. Regardless of the situation, I really enjoy driving in Texas and I have incredible memories there”, celebrated the Catalan driver.

In any case, Márquez stressed that they have “work to do after losing two races and the entire weekend in Argentina”, so he will not go “to set a goal at this time”. “There are many things to do and consider, but the important thing is that we get back on the bike this weekend,” he said.
