Repsol Honda Team confirm Marc Márquez for Sepang Test

Throughout the winter Márquez has had continual medical checks and consultations to monitor his diplopia. In recent weeks the improvements in his condition saw his medical team deem his recovery sufficient to return to training on two wheels. The #93 first returned to the motocross track before trying the Honda RC213V-S in Portimao and a Honda CBR 600RR in Aragón.

Last Monday, January 24, Márquez underwent another medical check which reconfirmed that the treatment has been a complete success and the eight-time World Champion is in a suitable condition to ride a MotoGP bike.

Therefore, it has been decided that Márquez will start his 2022 campaign at the first official MotoGP Test in Sepang before heading to Mandalika, Indonesia the following week. This will be Márquez’s first time back on a MotoGP machine since winning the 2021 Emilia Romagna GP ahead of Pol Espargaró.

The Repsol Honda Team will head to the first test of the new season at full strength with Márquez alongside Pol Espargaró, who enters his second year with the team.
