Marc Marquez suffers from visual disturbances again after Highsider

Marc Marquez's visual disturbances have returned after his heavy crash in Indonesia - How long the Honda rider will be out this time is unclear

Marc Marquez's injury bug does not stop: After the Honda rider crashed heavily in the warm-up to the Indonesian Grand Prix and therefore could not participate in the race, he now threatens to be out even longer.

Although no injuries were found after the highsider except for a concussion. But as a result of the impact, the visual disturbances, from which Marquez already suffered at the end of last year, have returned, as Honda officially confirmed in a statement this Tuesday.

"During the return trip to Spain, Marc Marquez had problems with his eyesight," it says. "Upon his arrival in Barcelona on Monday, he had an emergency visit to his trusted ophthalmologist, Dr. Sanchez Dalmau, who confirmed a return of diplopia after an examination."

However, Dalmau gives the all-clear cautiously: The renewed paralysis of the fourth optic nerve in the right eye, which causes diplopia, is "less pronounced" than in the injury in November. They have therefore opted for conservative treatment with regular medical tests.

Marquez himself wrote on his Twitter channel on Tuesday: "It seems that I am experiencing a deja vu. On the way back to Spain, I had problems with my eyesight, and we decided to see Dr. Sanchez Dalmau, who confirmed that it was a new episode of Diplopia."

"Fortunately, it's less serious than the injury I had at the end of last year. But now it's time to rest and wait and see how the injury develops. As always, many thanks to everyone for the support!!", he also addressed his fans.

In the current 2021 season, Marquez had crashed during off-road training and then complained of double vision (Diplopia). He had to sit out the last two races of the season in Portimao and Valencia and was also absent from the November test in Jerez.

How long Marquez will be out this time due to the renewed visual disturbances is unclear. Next week, he will be re-examined to assess the development of the injury. The next Grand Prix will take place on April 3 in Argentina.

MotoGP bans front ride-height devices from 2023.

A statement from the GP Commission:

"During the meeting of the Commission held in Lusail on 4 March 2022 the Grand Prix Commission delegates were asked to consider two alternative proposals on this matter.

Both had the objective of preventing further performance improvements and development cost increases.

After consideration of the proposals the following regulation was approved unanimously.

The use of any device that modifies or adjusts the motorcycle’s front ride height while it is moving is forbidden.

The decision of the Technical Director will be final when determining what constitutes a front ride height device; devices that only operate one-shot at the race start (i.e. “holeshot” devices) are allowed."

Ducati is the only manufacturer known to have a front ride-height device at the moment and the only manufacturer, out of 6, to oppose the ban.

Rear ride-height and front holeshot systems are to remain legal.

Crucial and much needed 48/72 hours of rest and observation for Marc.
Thank you to the medical staff and his team for their care and the decision to sit Marc out of this race.
Get well soon

Marc Márquez 🏁
🎙Made improvements over the weekend in Qatar and it’s clear to see there is a lot of potential there. I’m really happy to return to Mandalika, it is great to be able to see all our Indonesian fans and to finally put on a great show for them after so many years. I hope our fans enjoy it and we can put together a good weekend for them to celebrate. Another weekend presents another chance to understand the bike more and get closer again to fighting at the front, it’s early days and we keep on pushing.”
