Marc Marquez was notably absent from this last Algarve Grand Prix which was the second competition of the season organized in Portimao. Forfeited due to an officially announced concussion, the eight-time World Champion must be seen again by doctors this Monday to find out if he will be able to participate in the Valencia final scheduled for this weekend.

With your talent, your work ethic, your maturity and your naturalness... You have managed to surprise the world! Enjoy and keep it up! ". Among the many messages received, Acosta received the compliments of Dani Pedrosa, who simply commented: “ What a thrill, impressive! My compliments Pedro Acosta! ».
