As reported by Spanish website As.com, which cites DAZN, Marc’s younger brother has commented: “On the first day it was only normal for him to be down, I’d never seen him like that, but luckily he’s improving now. He is feeling good”. Alex Marquez is in Argentina waiting for round three to get underway and reveals: “This morning, when I saw the new schedule, I even joked with him, saying: ‘you have an extra day to get fit and come join us’. I only said it as a joke, to try to raise his spirits. He said: ‘Not yet’. He’s seen some improvement and this is very positive in terms of his recovery. I hope to see him back on track soon”.

Honda will have to carry on without Marc, at least until the diplopia situation is resolved. Alex adds: “I’m closer to it all because he’s my brother and I experience the bad times with him, but he’s Marc and we’ve always seen him come out of extreme situations". This is one of the toughest moments, but Alex is sure that Marc will remain true to his philosophy: "This is the most extreme because there are many obstacles along the path, but I don’t think it will change his style".
