The most recent update said that Marquez continues to undergo antibiotic treatment.Doubts remain about when the #93 will return to his RC213V, with speculation that test rider Stefan Bradl (or even Andrea Dovizioso) will again step in for the Qatar tests in March.New signing Espargaro, a title rival of Marquez in the smaller grand prix classes, arrives at Repsol Honda after spending four seasons at KTM, culminating in five podiums and fifth in last year’s world championship.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); ‘6-7 races’ – Valentino Rossi, VR46 to decide on MotoGP futureaccImages.createImage(); Joan Mir: If Marc is on track, Marc is the favourite for 2021With last year’s delayed calendar and ongoing Covid restrictions ruling out the usual post-season tests, Espargaro is yet to ride an RCV.Provisional 2021 MotoGP Calendar – January UpdateRoundDateRaceCircuit128 MarchQatar (Evening race)Losail24 AprilDoha (Evening race)Losail318 AprilPortugalPortimao42 MaySpainJerez516 MayFranceLe Mans630 MayItalyMugello76 JuneCatalunyaBarcelona820 JuneGermanySachsenring927 JuneNetherlandsAssen1011 JulyFinland (Subject to homologation)KymiRing1115 AugustAustriaRed Bull Ring1229 AugustGreat BritainSilverstone1312 SeptemberAragonAragon1419 SeptemberSan Marino e Della Riviera di RiminiMisano153 OctoberJapanMotegi1610 OctoberThailandBuriram1724 OctoberAustraliaPhillip Island1831 OctoberMalaysiaSepang1914 NovemberComunitat ValencianaRicardo TormoPostponed Grands Prix: 11 AprilArgentinaTermas 18 AprilAmericasCOTAReserve Grand Prix Venues: Indonesia (Subject to homologation)Mandalika RussiaIgora Drive2021 Pre-season Testing: 5 MarchQatar Shakedown TestLosail 6-7 MarchQatar Official TestLosail 10-12 MarchQatar Official TestLosailRelated ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Former Moto3 star Danny Kent ‘grateful’ for BSB chance with Buildbase SuzukiaccImages.createImage(); LCR Honda announces Facebook team launches for Marquez, Nakagami
