Honda Repsol team manager Alberto Puig is currently busy on two fronts. That of the development of the RC213V, which showed encouraging signs on the Jerez track, filed for two days with Nakagami and Pol Espargaró in particular providing interesting analyzes and performances. And that of the state of health of Marc Marquez where there will be nothing other to do than to give time. But MotoGP never has one. So decisions will be made before the end of this year, and that’s a little over a month away…
Honda had been stingy with information on the state of health of Marc Marquez when it became clear that he was suffering from much more than a "mild concussion". A failed communication thatAlberto puig seems to have understood since his last outing from Jerez on motogp.com gives food for thought.
We learn that the eight-time World Champion will undergo crucial ophthalmological examinations which will decide whether or not a new operation is necessary, as in 2011. But the Spaniard also mentions major decisions to come. Puig says thus: “ what matters now is how he is at the moment. It's more or less like we said before. He needs to rest, recover and to see if the swelling in the area around the eye goes down. And then we will see ».
Alberto Puig: “around Christmas he will have another consultation with the doctor and we will see"
The team boss Repsol Honda assured that Marc will undergo a new medical examination in mid-December, and only then will it be decided, with the specialists, what will be the best way to try to guarantee his presence for the tests of Sepang which will begin in the first week of February… “ Around Christmas he will have another consultation with the doctor and we will see what his situation is ", Explain Alberto Puig. " Then maybe we'll make a decision on what possibilities he has. Of course he is not happy not to be here in Jerez, but at the same time he understands that he needs to rest and have patience ».
We will recall that on the “possibilities” side the idea of bringing back one’s brother Alex at Repsol and put Iker Lecuona at LCR rather than in WSBK on the CBR triple R is in the air.
