Marquez Set For Austin Return

Marc Marquez will return to the MotoGP World Championship in Austin aboard his Repsol Honda Team RC213V after getting clearance from his medical team.

Doctors have cleared Marc Marquez for a return to Grand Prix competition after his fall in warm up at the Indonesian Grand Prix 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 Grand Prix of The Americas in Austin, Texas.

Before heading for the United States, he confirmed his feelings and vision on a CBR600RR around the Alcarras circuit.

“Of course I am very happy to be back,” Marquez said. “It’s a great feeling to return and especially to do it at one of my favorite tracks. No matter the situation, I really enjoy riding in Texas and have incredible memories there. We have some work to do after missing two races and the whole Argentina weekend so I am not here to set one target at the moment. There’s many things to do and consider, but the important thing is that we are back on the bike this weekend.”

Marquez’s record around the Texan circuit speaks for itself, having only missed victory on one occasion when he crashed while leading in 2019.

Even with his historic speed at the track, Marquez is not chasing immediate glory. Marquez is looking to get back up to speed with the Repsol Honda Team RC213V and continuing to build his feeling and speed on the new machine.
