MotoGP: Marquez 4, the return: doctors give the OK: he will be at the Austin GP

Doctors have cleared Marc Márquez for a return to Grand Prix competition after his fall in Warm Up at the Indonesian GP and subsequent diplopia diagnosis. The Repsol Honda Team rider has completed his conservative treatment plan and is ready to return to action at Round 4, The Americas Grand Prix at Austin, Texas. Before heading for the US, he confirmed his feelings and vision on a CBR600RR around the Alcarras circuit.

Márquez’s record around the Texan circuit speaks for itself, having only missed victory on one occasion when he crashed while comfortably leading in 2019. Even with his historic speed at the track, Márquez is not chasing immediate glory and is aiming to spend the weekend getting back up to speed with the Repsol Honda Team RC213V and continuing to build his feeling and speed on the new machine.

His Repsol Honda teammate, Pol Espargaró, comes into the American event in top form and eager to move on from the last round, in which a crash deprived him of a fight for the podium. The Spaniard will try to maintain his good feeling at the Circuit of the Americas with a bike that has already allowed him to score a podium this season. This weekend he competes at a track where the Honda has traditionally been well suited.
