Luca Marini has withdrawn from the San Marino GP, citing illness as the reason. According to a statement made by Repsol Honda on social media, the Italian has been diagnosed with a virus by MotoGP™ Medical Director Dr Angel Charte. It marks a disappointing few days for the team, with Joan Mir also absent due to illness.
Having awoken with a fever this morning and suffering from a lack of energy and power with his condition worsening, after consultation with Dr Charte who diagnosed a virus, Luca Marini will sit out the #SanMarinoGP to rest and recover with the aim of returning for the Monday Test

We wish both riders a speedy recovery and hope to see them back in action sooner, rather than later.
