Championship protocol prevents Márquez from playing Mandalika's race

Lombok (Indonesia), 20 Mar Spaniard Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) has been declared “unfit” for the Indonesian MotoGP Grand Prix at the Mandalika circuit, complying with the championship protocol after suffering a severe fall in which, in addition to the multiple trauma that occurred, he also suffered trauma which forces him to rest. Márquez suffered a heavy blow when he was catapulted by his motorcycle on turn seven of the Mandalika track and, although he did not suffer any injuries, the heavy blow he inflicted on the head forced him to rest for at least twelve to 24 hours. The Repsol Honda rider suffered a total of four crashes over the weekend in Indonesia, the last of which was very strong - he flew through the air more than two meters high - although the two falls in the first classification were at very high speed. Marc Márquez will now have almost two weeks of rest before facing the consecutive events of Argentina, at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, and the United States, at the Las Americas circuit in Austin, both tracks very much liked by the eight-time world champion.
