MARC MARQUEZ has confirmed after consulting his medical team that he will miss both races in Qatar.
This news comes shortly after jumping on the RC213V-S in Barcelona and Portimao on two track days, during which everyone is talking about a possible appearance at the opening in Qatar in six days.
His medical team was quoted as saying that they “feel it is sensible and necessary not to hasten Marquez’s return to the track after such an inactive period and not to endanger the humerus in intense competition.”

The absence of both race weekends is disappointing for the six-time MotoGP World Champion, but this gives Stefan Bradl the chance to race alongside Pol Espargaro for the Repsol Honda Team for at least two weekends, with two official tests under his belt Month.
The question now remains whether Marquez will be able to regain his full ability to race at the GP of Portugal in the Algarve on April 18th?
