The Repsol Honda rider withdrew from his home race last week, the Spanish MotoGP, and targeted a com🔯eback next week at Le Mans but has issued an update which admits 🐟his plan is in doubt.

"The doctors will decide,” hওe told Spanish TV. 

“On Tuesday 𝕴(May 9) I have a CཧT scan and let's see if everything goes well and I can re-enlist in the championship. 

“Being in Le Mans is a bit up in the air, but hopefully I canꦇ shoot in France to get to the right place.”

If he does miss Le Mans, there is then🔜 a month-long break until the Italian MotoG🌌P at Mugello on June 11.

Marquez suffered a hand injury when he crashed into Miguel Oliveꦛira in the season-opening Portimao race which rౠequired surgery.

He hasn’t been in action since, m𒀰issing three rounds and now potentially a fourth in Le Mans.

He has been replaced by Stefan Brad🌳l and Iker Lecuona so far, but Honda have not confirmed their Plan B if he misses Le Mans.

Marquez also cruciಌally missed the Jerez test where Honda used a Kalex chassis.

There is still no clarity about the double long lap penalty that Marquez was hit with foꦦr crashing into Oliveira.

The rule was reworded so that Marquez must serve the pe꧟nalty whenever he returns, bu🌞t Honda appealed this.

The MotoGP Court of Appeal’s final decision has not yet c🐲ome.

This ongoing injury absence is a nightmare for Marquez who entered 2023 vocal about being free of physical problems for the first time in two years, having fully recovered from last summer’s care🌊er-threatening arm operation.

But a totally different problem was caused🗹 just three grand prix laps into 2023.

He already sits 8ꦆ0 points behind champions💦hip leader Francesco Bagnaia.

Last year Bagnaia overhauled a 91-p💜oint deficit to win the title - that was an all-time record amount.

It means that, particularly if Marquez is absent from Le Mans next week, his faint hop🎃es of winning a s🐷eventh premier class championship this year are all but over.
