The Repsol Hoﷺnda rider withdrew from his home race last week, the Spanish MotoGP, and targeted a comeback next week at Le Mans but has issued an update which admits🍌 his plan is in doubt.

"T♓he doctors will ജdecide,” he told Spanish TV. 

“On Tuesday (May 9) I h🏅ave a CT scan and let's see if everything goes well and I can re-enlist in the championship. 

“Being in L😼e Mans is a bit up in the air, but hopefully I can 😼shoot in France to get to the right place.”

If he does miss Le Mans, there is then a month-long break ཧuntil the Italian MotoGP at Mugel🌠lo on June 11.

Marque🎶z suffered a hand injury when he crashed into Miguel Oliveira in ๊the season-opening Portimao race which required surgery.

He hasn’t been in action since, missing three rounds and now potenti🌊ally a fourth in Le Mans.

He has been replaced by Stefan Bradl and Iker Lecuona so far, but Honda have no✅t confirmed their Plan B if he misses Le Mans.

Marquez also crucially missed the Jerez test where Honda used😼 a Kalex chassis.

There is still no clarity about the double lo꧂ng lap penalty that Marquez was hit with for crashing into Oliveira.

The rule was reworded so that Marquez must serve th𝓡e penalty whenever𒀰 he returns, but Honda appealed this.

The MotoGP Court o🐻f Appeal’s final decision has not yet come.

T🎀his ongoing injury absence is a nightmare for Marquez who entered 2023 vocal about being free of physical problems for the first time 🏅in two years, having fully recovered from last summer’s career-threatening arm operation.

But a totally different problem was caused💦 just three grand prix laps into 2023.

He already sits 80 points behind championship leader Fr꧋ancesco Bagnaia.

Last year B𒀰agnaia overhauled a 91-point deficit to win the title - that was an all-time record amount.

It means that, particularly if ꦗMarquez is absent from Le M𝕴ans next week, his faint hopes of winning a seventh premier class championship this year are all but over.
