Marquez To Miss Grand Prix Of Argentina

Multi-time world champion Marc Marquez will miss this weekend’s Grand Prix of Argentina while he continues to recover from diplopia.

The Repsol Honda Team rider has shown very favorable improvements with his diplopia after visiting the Hospital Clínic and an examination from Dr. Sánchez Dalmau.

Marquez visited his ophthalmologist, Dr. Sánchez Dalmau, at the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona on Monday, undergoing his second medical check-up after the crash in the warmup for the Indonesian GP a week ago.

In this new examination, Dr. Sánchez Dalmau confirmed that Marquez’s diplopia shows a notable improvement and reaffirms that the progression of his vision is very favorable. As happened with the last episode of diplopia, Marquez will continue to carry out a conservative treatment regime with regular check-ups.

“The second neuro-ophthalmological evaluation carried out on Marc Marquez this past Monday has shown a very favorable evolution in the paralysis of the fourth right nerve affected by the fall that occurred at the Indonesian Grand Prix,” Dr. Sanchez Dalmau said. “Recovery is not yet complete and Marc Marquez must follow the established therapeutic regime with conservative treatment.”
