Repsol Honda insists that injured MotoGP champion Marc Marquez’s recovery is ‘proceeding as planned’, following rumours from Spain that a third operation may be needed.Check out the MotoGP YouTube channel – CLICK HEREA report by Mundo Deportivo said that Marquez – who broke his right arm at the Jerez season opener on July 19, then required a second operation on August 3 when the original plate broke under the strain of preparing for an early return – is not satisfied with the progress of his arm, won’t compete again this season and is considering more surgery.That apparently prompted the following short statement to be issued by Repsol Honda:’The Repsol Honda Team would like to confirm that Marc Marquez’s recovery is proceeding as planned. While it is a long and intense recovery, Marc and those [in] his team have no cause for concern.’At the same time, a picture of Marquez doing weight training appeared on social media:Continuamos con la recuperacin!! #rehabilitacion Zk2cyvOfs3— Marc Mrquez (@marcmarquez93) October 21, 2020The only timeframe issued by HRC since Marquez’s second operation was a ‘2-3 months’ estimate, provided on August 22, meaning somewhere between October 22 and November 22.It’s now known that Marquez will not be back for this weekend’s second Aragon round, after which there are only three more races (two at Valencia and one at Portimao) before the end of the season.”Portimao will be interesting to finish the season. I hope to be there,” Marquez said last month.HRC test rider Stefan Bradl continues to replace Marc Marquez, whose younger brother and rookie team-mate Alex has been on the podium at the last two rounds.Portimao would be the last chance for the Marquez brothers to race as team-mates before Alex moves to LCR next season.Revised 2020 MotoGP Calendar (including free weekends)RoundDateRaceCircuit119 JulySpainJerez226 JulyAndalusiaJerez 2 August 39 AugustCzech RepublicBrno416 AugustAustriaRed Bull Ring523 AugustStyriaRed Bull Ring 30 August 6 September 613 SeptemberSan Marino e Della Riviera di RiminiMisano720 SeptemberEmilia Romagna e Della Riviera di RiminiMisano827 SeptemberCatalunyaBarcelona 4 October 911 OctoberFranceLe Mans1018 OctoberAragonAragon1125 OctoberTeruelAragon 1 November 128 NovemberEuropeRicardo Tormo1315 NovemberComunitat ValencianaRicardo Tormo1422 NovemberPortugalPortimao
