The MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas, at one o⛎f Marquez’s favourite circuits, is next weekend f🌳rom April 14.

It is still unconfirmed if he is healthy enough to take pa𝓰rt, and if he does, whether he must serve a double long lap penalty.

But his newest post to social media, going through a gym workout, indicates that he is on the mend after hand s♌ur⭕gery.

Marquez was forced under the knife due to an injury sustained on the th♋ird grand prix lap of t♏he 2023 season, when he caused a crash with Miguel Oliveira.

• Marc Marquez “going to win a💖ppeal”, will “benefit from clumsiness” of rule

M🥀arquez and Oliveira were both ruled out of the MotoGP Argentina with resulting injuries.

Marquez was hit with a double long lap penalty to be served a week later in Argentina, buℱt he was already due to miss out♑ through injury.

The wording of the rule changed so Ma𒁏rquez would have to serve his penalty whenever he returned - b🌊ut Honda appealed this amendment.

Spanish media report that Marಌquez will win his appeal.

They report that because he asked the Stewards if his penalty was specifically for Argentina (which he was due to miss anyway through injur♏y) he signed the 🍎sanctioning papers then chose to undergo surgery.

Bu🍒t an official decision from the Moto🤪GP Court of Appeal has not yet arrived.

The six-time premier class champion’s hopes to claim the 2023 title are off to the worst possible start a🍒nd, with a week to go until COTA, two crucial questions are hanging over him.

Is he fit to race? And must he serve a penalty?
