Marc Márquez and his possible private test at Portimão

Rider Marc Márquez is still recovering from the double vision that has affected him since his crash last season at the Sepang Circuit, which finally forced him to undergo surgery in Barcelona to try to fully resolve these problems.

Unfortunately, this eye condition has kept us from seeing Márquez in the pre-season tests held in 2011, and we have also been left without him at the first Moto2 IRTA tests in Valencia, and everything suggests he will not be in Jerez next week either, so the 93 is still recovering and gradually regaining strength.

The team and the manager, Emilio Alzamora, say it is all a precaution, and that they want to take it carefully, without speeding up the processes or the timelines, which is why they have decided not to be in Valencia, and everything suggests he will not be in Jerez either. However, news coming from the World Motorcycle Championship paddock assures that the Catalan will return to action at the Portimão Circuit in a private test during the first week of March.

And if all goes well, he is expected to be ready and prepared for the final pre-season IRTA test in Jerez ahead of the 19-21 March, the last big test before the start of the World Championship in Qatar on 8 April.

The important thing, as we have always said, is that Márquez fully recovers. Although this delay worries us a little, if they are taking such precautions there must be a reason, so we hope and trust to see him back soon on his Moto2.
