The Repsol rider finished seventh in the Czech Republic despite dislocating his shoulder just 48 hours previously and today, Tuesday, he went for a medical check in Barcelona.
The return to work after the summer break last weekend turned into tough event for Marc Márquez. The Repsol rider dislocated his shoulder during the last minutes of free practice on Friday and, without taking part in the free practice on Saturday to not put more strain on his battered shoulder, he finished fourth in qualifying and finished in a commendable seventh position in Sunday’s race.
On his return to Barcelona, the Repsol rider underwent a magnetic resonance scan (MRI) and other tests at the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus where Doctor Xavier Mir saw him today, Tuesday, to determine the exact extent of the injury. Márquez, after leaving the centre, wanted to personally inform all his supporters of the test results which he has done on his blog at www.repsol.com.
