Fortune hasn’t favored Marc Marquez during the last three MotoGP seasons. As if battling through four surgeries on his right arm weren’t enough, the 29-year-old rider also struggled through two bouts with diplopia (double vision).
Marquez overcame his first diplopia diagnosis back in 2011. The condition returned following a motocross training accident in November, 2021, forcing the Repsol Honda rider to miss the final two races of the 2021 season. Number 93 return to the grid for the 2022 season was also short-lived, with a high-side crash at the Indonesian Grand Prix sidelining Marquez with a third spell of diplopia.
