JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez is still recovering after an accident and was declared injured. However, there is new news regarding the current condition of the driver, which was revealed by Alberto Puig.

Reporting from Crash on Friday, December 17, the Repsol Honda boss said Marquez was getting better. Puig also said Marquez was enjoying his time off at the moment.

"He (Marc Marquez) is now resting and his condition is getting better as the doctor said. However, he is not stressed while waiting for time to pass. We continue to hope that the situation will return to normal little by little", said Puig.

Marquez was previously sentenced to suffer from diplopia or double vision which was influenced by a mild concussion he experienced after an accident while practicing dirt bikes. Due to his health condition, Marquez was forced to end the 2021 MotoGP competition early.

Marquez's injury and Diplopia verdict made it estimated that he would have to undergo treatment and recovery for six months before it was finally decided he could return to the track.

Previously, Marquez had faced a similar injury in the 2011 season. At that time, Marquez was still racing in Moto2 and fell during a practice session in Sepang.

Regarding Marquez's condition, which had to be vacuumed to recover, Puig and the entire Repsol Honda team admitted that they had lost quite a bit. The reason, Marquez is the mainstay of the team.

"To be honest, we feel lost because we go through training without him (Marc Marquez). When you have a champion rider and he is not part of the development, you definitely lose him", said Puig.

"He always pushes the bike to the limit. So yes, maybe the direction of the team project is a bit lost. We didn't have Marc for a long time, but it also tried to go well with the action of Bradl, Alex Marquez, Nakagami, and Pol (Espargaro)" said Puig.
