Reigningꦡ MotoGP champion Marc Marquez is eager to get back on track and turn the page on his shock Austin error during this weekend's first home Spanish event of the year, at Jerez.

The Repsol Honda star loo﷽ked on cꦏourse for a seventh successive COTA win until he fell from a comfortable lead on lap nine.

That error also cost Marquez the early title lead and he has now dropped to&༺nbsp;fourth in the world championship, albeit only nine points behind new l🔯eader Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati).

"Jerez is always a special race because it is the fi🌄rst in Europe and there’s a lot of support from the Spanish fans," Marquez said.

"Oꦕf course we approach it the same as any weekend, with how tight the championship is we must make the most of every moment on track.

"The ti🌺me between Ame🐟rica and here has seemed longer than ever, I’m looking forward to getting back out on my bike.”

Marquez won last year's Jerez race by over five-seconds after closest rivals Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Andrไea Dovizioso were eliminated in a dramatic clash on lap 18 of 25.

Substantial resurfacing has taken place since𓆉 last November's Jerez test, where Marquez set the second fastest lap time behind LCR's Takaaki N🅰akagami before heading for shoulder surgery.

The three race victories so far this season have gone to Doꦕvizioso, Marquez and Alex Rins respectively.

As well as Marquez and team-mate Jorge Lorenzo, HRC test rider Stefan Bradl will also tak♔e part as a wild-card this weekend.
