MotoGP teams up and down the paddock have been busy prepping for the start of the 2022 season. With the first official test scheduled to take place in Sepang, Malaysia on February 4 and 5, 2022, there’s clearly no time to waste. That’s why, on January 26, Repsol Honda officially announced that Marc Marquez has been given a clean bill of health by doctors, and will be on track to test the new RC213V at Sepang.
The eight-time MotoGP World Champion has been powering through recovery as best he can. Although things were pretty uncertain for a long time, Marquez kept his head down and just went on training as usual. Although his diplopia diagnosis wasn’t something he could directly control, physical fitness is as natural for the champ (and MotoGP riders in general) as breathing. By mid-January, he was back on a motocross bike—and just a couple of days later, on track at Portimao.
