A new setback for the Catalan champion.

Unfortunately, Marc Márquez is out again and there is no scheduled date for his return to MotoGP. The Catalan rider, after his fall last weekend during the Warm Up of the Indonesian Grand Prix, suffers from diplopia (double vision) again, an alteration that already separated him from the circuits at the end of last season.

After his accident, the MotoGP medical team reported that Márquez suffered a concussion and several minor injuries before being transferred to the hospital in Mataram, the capital of the island of Lombok, where he underwent a more exhaustive medical examination and a CAT scan. which significant injuries were ruled out.

As a precaution, the MotoGP medical team and the Repsol Honda team decided that Marc would not participate in the Indonesian GP. It was on his return trip to Spain when Márquez again felt discomfort in his vision, and when he arrived in Barcelona on Monday, he went urgently to the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona to visit his trusted ophthalmologist, Mr. Doctor Sanchez Dalmau.

“It seems that I am experiencing a déjà vu… During the trip back to Spain, I began to have discomfort in my vision and we decided to visit Dr. Sánchez Dalmau who confirmed that I have a new episode of diplopia”, explained Márquez via Twitter.

“Fortunately, it’s less serious than the injury I had at the end of last year. But now it’s time to rest and wait to see how the injury evolves. As always, thank you all for your support!” he added.

Today, the Spaniard visited his medical team at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, where he underwent a general medical check-up to evaluate all the bruises caused by the fall and a brain MRI. This has reconfirmed that he did not suffer any other injury, beyond diplopia.

“The neuro-ophthalmological evaluation carried out on Marc Márquez this Monday after the traumatic brain injury that occurred at the Indonesian Grand Prix shows a new episode of diplopia caused by a reappearance of the paralysis of the fourth right nerve, with less involvement than the one that occurred in the injury of November 2021 ”, has Dr. Sánchez Dalmau.

“After this exploration, it was initially decided to follow a conservative treatment with regular medical tests. Next week, Marc Márquez will undergo a new check-up to evaluate the evolution of the injury and predict the estimated recovery period to return to competition.

Márquez goes through a process that at the end of last season and the beginning of 2022 forced him to be out for three months after suffering a fall while practicing motocross. His best result this season is the fifth place he achieved in the first race of the year, in Qatar.
