Marc Marquez will make his comeback during the Texas GP, where he has “memorable memories”.
His spectacular fall in the warm-up of the Indonesian GP, a little over two weeks ago, had consequences: Marc Márquez suffered again, like last fall, from diplopia (double vision). Forced to withdraw in Argentina, the Spaniard will resume service on a circuit where he has always won… except once, that of COTA, near Austin.
The doctors gave the green light and, on Monday, Márquez covered a few laps of the Alcarras circuit, riding a Honda CBR600RR: “Of course I’m very happy to be back, especially on one of my favorite circuits. No matter the situation, I always take great pleasure in riding in Texas, where I have great memories. We will have work to do after losing the Argentinian weekend and that’s why I don’t want to set myself a specific goal in terms of performance. The most important thing is to be back,” explains Marc Márquez.
