One way to sort that out

Nah that doesn’t work I promise you. With all my quarantine I should look like Popeye by now

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.

He's on track test riding an RC213V-S

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?

Just announced that he will not race at Qatar.

The arm isn't that strong yet then.

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!

Marquez has been cleared by the doctors for racing

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

4 crashes this weekend so far for MM. Its going to take some work to get him back at the front.

Some concern over his concussion yesterday and then being cleared to race too.

what a brutal sport, amazing how Rossi has lasted so long

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

Did 87 laps today and was fastest in free practice

I don't think we can write him off just yet.

He did say he felt his old self before he fell off on Sunday..

What a man. You can see how much it meant to him, his team and his family.

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.
