Marc marquez will NOT race at Spain at JEREZ.
The Repsol Honda will miss the fourth round of the 2023 season as he continues recovering from the hand injury he sustained when he crashed into Miguel Oliveira in Portimao.
Iker Lecuona, the Honda WorldSBK rider, will replace Marquez for the Spanish MotoGP.
Marquez will turn his attention to returning for the French MotoGP in Le Mans on May 14.
Marquez underwent successful surgery to repair a broken hand after the first weekend of the season and, ahead of Jerez, Honda confirmed: “Due to the nature of the fracture and the time elapsed, the medical team led by Dr. Roger de Oña together with Marquez, have decided to continue with his recovery.”
Marquez said: “[Tuesday] we did another CT scan and it has been confirmed that, despite the fact that the injury is progressing favourably, the bone has not yet finished healing and racing in Jerez was risky.
“Together with the medical team, we decided not to take any risks, to wait two more weeks and return in Le Mans.
“I am very sorry to miss the Spanish Grand Prix because it is always special, because of the atmosphere, racing at home and above all, seeing and enjoying the fans.
“I will continue with the rehabilitation
