Marc Marquez will not be on track at Portimao, the very track where he returned to MotoGP action just a few months ago following the injury to his humerus. The Honda team confirms the news in a press note.

The team’s release


“This past Saturday Marc Marquez, while preparing for the Algarve Grand Prix with one of his standard off-road training sessions, suffered a fall that caused a slight head concussion. After a few days of rest at home and seeing that he was still unwell, today Marquez has been assessed by doctors in a medical check-up to evaluate his current status. As a precautionary measure, this coming weekend Marquez will not contest the Algarve Grand Prix.”

A precautionary move then, which nevertheless puts the brakes on the progress Marc’s been making in recent weeks, particularly with his two consecutive wins at Austin and Misano.
