MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has posted 'before and after' x-rays showing the 🍸fracture to his right arm, then 12 pins and a plate used to stabilise the injury.

The Repsol Honda rider broke his humerus bone during a huge highside at the season-opening Spanish MotoGP, beꩵing clipped by the bike as he bounced through the gravel.

Amazingly, after undergoing surgery on the Tuesday, Marquez returned to Jerez on Thursday where he passed a medical test and w🌳as given permission to ride in this weekend's Andalucia MotoGP.

A compromise with HRC saw Marquez wait until Saturday morning to get back on track, where he ﷽set the 19th (+1.298s) fastest lap time in FP3, improving 𒀰to 16th (+0.999s) in FP4.

But the six-time MotoGP champion had suddenly felt a loss of strength in the ✅injured arm. When the problem continued at the start of Qualifying 1, Marquez pitted a💛nd withdrew from the event.

"It was like inflammation or something. The arm got a little bit bigger and maybe pressed some nerve. I was losing the power in some corners I did not expect," 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marquez later explained.

"At that point you🌌 need to be honest with your body and understand the situation and that’s whatꦫ I did.

"I said straightaway to the team what’s going on and that I would go out in Q1 and in the first lap, if I feel a little bit this feeling🤡 or something similar, I 🌠will give up. This is what I did.

"I will sleep well because I t🎃ried and it wasn’t possible and Brno [August 7-9] will be anoꦑther race."

Back-to-back victories for Fabio Quartararo means the Frenchman has a perfect 50-points at the top of🍌 the world championship standings, with Maverick Vinales - tipped by Marquez to be his main title rival - second on 40 points.

Due to the shortened seaso𝓀n, there are currently only 11 races remaining for Marquezꦍ to try and reel in the Yamaha riders.
