Injury Forces Marc Marquez To Bow Out Of Third GP In A Row

In 2020, Marc Marquez made an ill-fated return to the Andalusian Grand Prix. Less than one week after fracturing his right humerus in a violent high-side crash at the 2020 Spanish GP, number 93 rushed back to Circuito de Ángel Nieto in Jerez, Spain. The decision ultimately reaggravated his injury, sending his health and recovery into a tailspin for the remainder of the season.

Since then, the six-time MotoGP champ has learned to push neither his luck nor his body, adopting for a comprehensive rehabilitation process with subsequent injuries. During a crash at the season-opening Portuguese Grand Prix, the Repsol Honda rider sustained a fractured right hand. As a result, Marquez bowed out of the Argentinian GP and the Grand Prix of the Americas. As MotoGP heads back to the Jerez circuit for the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, Marquez is wisely erring on the side of caution.
