Marc Márquez will also be absent in Aragón, as confirmed by his own team. The Catalan is already mathematically out of the World Championship fight.
Marc Márquez will also miss the tenth round of the season. The Catalan, who confirmed more than a month ago that he would be absent for two to three months, continues his convalescence. The plate rupture he suffered a few days after his first operation requires a full recovery. This is why, as confirmed by the driver and his team, his return to competition will not take place until he is completely recovered.
The absence of Marc Márquez in
Aragon
During this process, much has been said about the possible return of the Catalan driver as soon as possible. However, the team denied this through its press releases. The latest rumor was the return of Marc Márquez at the Aragón Grand Prix this weekend. On Tuesday, Honda confirmed the presence of Stefan Bradl, the Honda test rider who replaced Márquez in the last few races, which automatically rules out the Catalan for the tenth round of the season.
“I am happy to continue with the Repsol Honda team in Aragón, but I hope that Marc continues to recover well. Scoring points again in the last race gave me extra motivation for this weekend in Aragon. It's a circuit with a lot of variety and some tricky points, especially if the temperatures are low, you really have to pay attention to the right side of the tire at the start of the lap. The aim is to once again achieve the best possible result for the HRC”, said the Honda test driver.
Mathematically off points.
Until then, although it was complicated, Marc Márquez still had a chance to win the title. However, with his absence in Aragón, the Cervera man is now mathematically out of the points. Since his arrival in the premier category in 2013, the eldest Márquez has only lost two titles, in 2015 and now this year. This is undoubtedly bad news for fans of number 93 who will have to wait a little longer to see their idol on the bike again.
As his brother stated, Alex Marquez, last Sunday, at the Carrusel deportivo de la Ser, this season could be decisive for Marc's return to the slopes. The decision will depend on the progress made in the rehabilitation of the pilot's right arm and the medical examinations he undergoes periodically. “ I know that he has a check-up every week on Monday or Tuesday, but I don't know. There are days when you see him and you say to yourself that he will come back to Aragón, and others when you think that he will not even race this season. »
« Depending on the day, his feelings change a lot and the pain he feels modifies his musculature, because he has kept his arm immobile for a long time and it is difficult to activate it. I couldn't say and I don't think he knows. It will be a matter of days to see what happens and how he feels. I think this whole week will mark his development to see if he can come back. The sooner the better, but when he feels 100%. Where will he return? Well, I don't know. They follow natural steps. »
