The injured Alex Marquez﷽ as been passed fit to ride in this week's official Mot♛o2 test at Jerez.

Marquez crashed heavily at turn five during a private test a𒊎t the same Spanish Jꦑerez circuit a week ago, fracturing the triquetrum, one of the eight small carpal bones, in his left wrist.

The former Moto3 World Champ🐻ion had a titanium screw inserted into the bone to stabilise the fracture, with surgeons at the Hospital University Quir?n Dexeus in Barcelona using keyhole surgery techniques to reduce the recovery time.

Since the surgical procedure, which was carried out under the direction of Doctor Xavier Mir just one week ago, M?rquez has followed an 💛intensive r🐲ecovery plan to enable his return to action at the first official Moto2 test of the new season this week.

"The surgery to stabilise the fracture in my wrist was only l🃏ast week, so I head to Jerez still not 100% recovered, but certainly fit enough to test the new suspension and different settings on the bike," he declared. "Sure, the injury will be a handicap, so I'll need to adjust on the bike, but I think my condition is good enough that we can do a good job over the three days at Jerez."

Team Principal Michael Bartholemy added: "Obviously, with the surgery only taking place seven days ago, he's not completely fit, but his r𒀰ecovery is enough that he won't be hampered too much by the injury on the bike. Even ൲so, we will monitor his condition closely over the three days at Jerez and we won't hesitate to call a halt if we feel the risk starts to outweigh the benefit of him testing."
