Marc Marquez will be at Mugello
It is not yet certain that he will be regularly on board his Ducati number 93 during the Italian GP weekend at Mugello, but at least Marc Marquez has decided at least to try. This was announced by the official team of the Borgo Panigale factory in MotoGP, which explained how the post-operative course of the reigning world champion is proceeding according to plan, to the point of allowing the Spanish ace to travel with the team to Tuscany with the aim of obtaining clearance from the official MotoGP doctors to take part in the weekend.

Thus the official note from the Ducati MotoGP team, also accompanied by an Instagram post shared by both the rider and the team showing a smiling Marc Marquez in everyday life moments with his girlfriend, the two family dogs, and the famous scars clearly visible, as well as in somewhat less relaxing phases of training to recover shoulder functionality. “After passing the final checks with his doctors – explains Ducati – Marc Marquez will go to Mugello on Wednesday. An final evaluation on the circuit is scheduled for him on Thursday with the aim of obtaining the OK to race in the Italian GP.”

The Le Mans injury and the “disputed” screw
Seventeen days have passed since the Saturday of the French GP at Le Mans when the nine-time world champion fell badly on his right foot following a bad highside – the most dangerous and feared crashes, which occur when the bikes throw the riders off, hurling them upwards at high speed – which cost him a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of the right foot. Given the forced stop due to the injury, not serious, to the foot, Marc Marquez took the opportunity to fix the “famous” damaged screw (it had been talked about for months, although until then both the rider and the team managers had denied it was a problem) from a previous operation on the right shoulder battered by injuries in recent years.
