Ducati Lenovo Team rider Marc Marquez has been given the green light by the medical team to compete in the upcoming MotoGP Grand Prix of Italy at Mugello. The Spanish rider is currently en route to Italy, aiming to return to the track after a period of absence due to injuries sustained in recent races.
Marquez is scheduled to participate in the first free practice session (FP1) on Friday. His full participation throughout the weekend hinges on a final medical check following FP1. MotoGP confirmed that the seven-time world champion suffered a leg injury during the French Grand Prix sprint race at Le Mans. He also underwent surgery for a shoulder issue that had troubled him since a crash at the Indonesian MotoGP last season.
Should Marquez's condition prove suitable for racing at Mugello, it would present a valuable opportunity for him to gain points in the rider standings. He is currently trailing championship leader Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia Racing. The decision on his continued involvement will be based on his physical state and performance during the initial practice session.
After a successful procedure and a few days for recovery, he (Marc) will now return to the track in FP1 at Mugello before a final medical examination on Friday morning to determine if he will complete the full weekend.
