Repsol Honda Team and Marc Marquez have confirmed that he will sit out the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana and Grande Premio MEO de Portugal, meaning the eight-time World Champion will return to track action in 2021.
This season I will not compete again. After evaluating how the arm is doing with the Doctors and my team, we have decided that the best option is to return next year. It's time to continue with the recovery. Thanks for the messages of support. Looking forward to returning in 2021 pic.twitter.com/WlQI3BntTN
