Marc marquez
“Yesterday we did another CT scan and it was confirmed that, despite the fact that the injury was progressing well, the bones had not fully healed and racing in Jerez was very risky.
“Along with the medical team, we decided not to take the risk, waited another two weeks and returned to Le Mans.
“I regret to miss the Spanish Grand Prix because it is always special, because of the atmosphere, the race at home and above all to witness and enjoy the fans.
“I will continue to rehabilitate and work to get back as soon as possible. Thank you for your message of support!“
