Alex Márquez Flies to Brünn to Seek Medical Clearance for Rapid MotoGP Return

Approval by the MotoGP medical panel will determine whether Gresini’s one-month comeback attempt goes ahead.

Overview

  • Gresini announced that Alex Márquez will travel to Brünn with the explicit goal of being declared fit to race after recent follow-up exams in Spain.
  • Márquez suffered a broken right clavicle and fractures to the C7 cervical vertebra in a high-speed crash in Barcelona and has posted recovery images showing a neck brace.
  • His team doctor gave permission for the trip but the final decision rests with the MotoGP medical panel, whose clearance is required before he can take part in free practice or the race.
  • Gresini has not named an official replacement if Márquez is not cleared, with Superbike rider Iker Lecuona the most likely standby after a strong emergency stint in Hungary.
  • Brünn’s fast, physically demanding layout raises medical and performance risks for an early return and could affect team planning and rider workload if Márquez is only partly fit.
