Alex Marquez prepares for two races when reigning world champion Marc Marquez is operated on on his broken right humerus in Barcelona.
After a serious fall on Sunday, Marc Marquez was diagnosed with a broken right humerus and on Monday he traveled to Barcelona to the Hospital Universitari Dexeus. Dr. Xavier Mir and his team, in collaboration with Dr. Barrera performed an open reduction and internal fixation of a titanium plate on the right humerus. The radial nerve was unaffected and did not need intervention.
Marc is now recovering from a successful operation and will stay in the hospital for up to 48 hours. His goal is to get back to the 2020 World Cup as soon as possible, with the expected date soon becoming clearer.
Alex Marquez will mount his Repsol Honda Team RC213V again at Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto after a solid rookie debut. The Gran Premio Red Bull of Andalusia offers a unique chance to run on the same track as the previous race. Alex and his side of the Repsol Honda Team Garage can use whatever they found last weekend. Conditions before the weekend seem to be challenging again as temperatures are expected to be above 30 ° C for most of the event. The reigning Moto2 world champion wants to collect points and finish as a top rookie again.
Free practice 1 begins on Friday, July 24th, at 09:55 a.m. local time. The lights for the 25-lap GP of Andalusia will go out on Sunday 26 July at 2:00 p.m. local time.
