Marc Marquez out for reminder of 2020 MotoGP season
Marc Marquez has confirmed that he will not be contesting in any of the remaining rounds of the 2020 MotoGP season
MARC MARQUEZ has confirmed that he will not be returning to MotoGP action for the remainder of the 2020 season.
The news has been confirmed by his Repsol Honda team, confirming that the injuries he sustained earlier this year are enough to prevent him from returning to the track in 2020.
Marquez has had to sit out the season, after breaking his arm in the Jerez round in July this year. He did initially try and regain fitness for the following round, although needed to undergo another operation to repair a plate in his arm after that round.
