Honda have just done their 2021 MotoGP bikes reveal.

Marquez was there. He's said he's not sure when he'll be back on a bike.

Not imminent then.

Common sense would say he takes much of this season out to recover. Another crash might mean there is no coming back next time.

Most of his problems stem from the bone infection. That may have had an impact on bone strength.

I just saw that.. at the good old Montmélo (Catalunya). Fair play to him! What do we reckon? 4 races and he's back in?

It sounds as if it's starting enough to race on but not strong enough to crash on.

He's done testing in Catalunya and Portimao back to back. That would have been enough to gauge if it's strong enough for racing yet. I suspect he's getting a lot of inflamation still. I reckon 3 or 4 races off... and if he's still the alien we think he is, he'll still win the title on the last race!

Going to be interesting to see how competitive he is and what happens if he crashes.

He pulled out of testing today due to the stresses on his arm and muscles.

He had all the money any man could ever want, lives in luxury and treated like a King, but if you don't have your health to do what you want to do then it isn't worth a lot.

He has been through the grinder this last year and porbably still isn't out of it but he sure has determination by the bucket load.
