After the two consecutive successes achieved in Austin and Misano, Marc Marquez will be the great absent of the Algarve Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the 2021 World Championship. The Catalan champion fell during a training session, causing a concussion that advised the doctors to keep him away from his Honda RC213V for the weekend in Portimao. The driver and team’s goal is to be in top form in view of the Jerez de la Frontera tests scheduled for 18 and 19 November, in the week following that of the Valencia race, the last round of the championship.
Asked about Marquez’s state of health, Alberto Puig gave a picture of the situation: “It was a normal accident that can happen when training on an enduro or motocross bike. He had the accident and had a concussion, as we explained in the release. He was okay, but he wasn’t feeling very well. He was feeling dizzy, so we talked to the doctors and they agreed that the best decision was not to come to Portimao to compete, since he didn’t feel 100% ”.
The next step will therefore be to better understand the driver’s state of health: “We wait until Monday or Tuesday for a further check from the doctors, for other evaluations and let’s see what they will say“. On the prospects ahead of Valencia, Puig did not speak out: “I’m not a doctor, if the doctors give the ok and Marc feels fine, he will certainly be there. But today it is impossible to say“. Alex Marquez also spoke about the accident that happened to his brother: “I wasn’t with him when it happened. That morning I was doing a slightly different training program. He went on a motocross bike five minutes from home. These are the risks involved, at that moment he was with Josep Garcia, who is an enduro champion“Explained the Honda LCR rider.
