Marquez cleared to race
Print Edition
MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has been declared fit to race at this weekend’s Andalusian Grand Prix in Jerez, two days after undergoing surgery on a broken right arm, officials said yesterday. Marquez sustained the injury when he crashed four laps from the end of the season-opening Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez last Sunday. The Spaniard underwent an operation in Barcelona on Tuesday, which involved fixing a titanium plate internally to his right humerus. The radial nerve was not affected, however, in a boost for the Honda rider’s hopes of an early return. “Marquez arrived at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto on Thursday morning from Barcelona and has since passed the eagerly anticipated fitness test, which will now see him take to the circuit on board his RC213V this weekend,” MotoGP said in a statement. The Spanish GP was won by Frenchman Fabio Quartararo. It was the first of 13 in a reduced calendar that was originally scheduled to start in March. Seven races were scheduled for Spain.
