JAKARTA - Repsol Honda team racer Marc Marquez continues to make preparations to return to MotoGP 2022. Most recently he practiced riding a big motorbike in Aragon.
He paved the way to test his physical readiness ahead of the pre-season test session in Sepang, Malaysia next month. In practice on Thursday, January 20 local time, the Spaniard rode the CBR600rr.
"Now I need to do a one day test at the Grand Prix circuit and do a full day with lots of laps to see if I'm tired or if I have a problem. We need to evaluate that before I'm allowed to race in the Malaysia test," said Marquez.
Earlier this week Marquez also tested his physical body by riding an RC213V-S motorbike at the Algarve Circuit, Portimao, Portugal.
Marquez reported no complaints of diplopia he experienced after completing 65 laps of the circuit. This is a good sign before being declared fit to play at Sepang.
Marquez is experiencing diplopia or double vision which is the effect of an injury he received following an accident while practicing motocross at the end of last season.
As a result of the injury, Marquez had to miss the final two races of the 2021 MotoGP season and the post-season test session.
The positive news came last week when Marquez received the blessing of doctor Sanchez Dalmau to return to training on a motorbike following his vision improvement.
The rider will follow the advice of the medical team after completing training at Portimao before confirming his fitness to take the pre-season test in Sepang, Malaysia, February 5-6.
Marquez realized the healing process would be slow because he had suffered a similar injury in 2011.
