Of the early injured Pol Espargaró, Miguel Oliveira, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini, only one is guaranteed today to be at the start of the French Grand Prix, the fifth round of a MotoGP season that will be decidedly trying for all. levels. The Tech3 GASGAS pilot thus gave sufficiently precise news to understand that he will have to take all precautions to get back on his RC16, his back being a subject which should not be taken lightly. For his counterpart from RNF Aprilia, he is forced into a new package after being caught by Fabio Quartararo in Jerez. Enea Bastianini is officially back in the ranks of Ducati, but partially, his shoulder blade not yet operational. And Marc Marquez?
Well, for now, as far as Marc Marquez nothing is certain about participation in the Grand Prix of France at Le Mans next weekend. Factory official Honda who will definitely not have seen him often on the rebellious RC213V developed under his direction since HRC decided to no longer listen Dani Pedrosa, awaits the result of a medical examination.
Marc Marquez: “ doctors will decide »
We can thus read his point of view on crash.net : " Tuesday May 9, I have a scanner and we'll see if everything goes well and if I can return to the championship. Being at Le Mans is still a bit to be dotted, but I hope to be able to announce my participation in France. Doctors will decide ».
Failing this, it would be for Italy Mugello on June 11. It will be recalled thatAleix Espargaró said he wanted to see him as soon as he returned to explain his way of thinking about his martial riding in a MotoGP where the punishments are now legion and the risk of injury increased.
And in this regard, his sanction imposed from Portimao, contested because it was rewritten, is still pending. As soon as he returns to his Repsol stand, at Le Mans or elsewhere, the stories of Portuguese Grand Prix will catch up with the eight-time World Champion who sees the prospect of a ninth crown blurring a little more with each passing deadline.
