Spain’s multi-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez underwent a medical examination with Dr. Sánchez Dalmau last week to analyse the situation of his diplopia.
The ophthalmologist confirmed a clear improvement in the vision of the eight-time world champion.
With this progress, the Repsol Honda Team rider received authorisation to ride a motorcycle and motocross, the most demanding discipline possible in the world of two wheels, was chosen by Marquez and his team.
After a three-month absence, the Spanish rider returned to riding at the Ponts Circuit (Lleida). After several runs his sensations and feelings on the bike were more than optimistic.
The next step for Marquez will be to ride on a paved racetrack.
Meanwhile, the provisional 2022 FIM MotoGP World Championship calendar has been released comprising 21 Rounds from March to November and including visits to two new venues in Indonesia and Finland.
All dates and events for the coming season, as well as the attendance of spectators, are subject to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic situation and the approval of various government and local authorities in each country.
