Marquez to miss Algarve Grand Prix
This past Saturday Marc Marquez, while preparing for the Algarve Grand Prix with one of his standard off-road training sessions, suffered a fall that caused a slight head concussion. After a few days of rest at home and seeing that he was still unwell, today Marquez has been assessed by doctors in a medical check-up to evaluate his current status. As a precautionary measure, this coming weekend Marquez will not contest the Algarve Grand Prix.
Oh, so we giving it to Bagina at a cruise then?

There was a time Marquez seemed invincible, he crashed his brains out and suffered little consequence. Now everything is hurting him. Hope the guy is ok,the spectacle is diminished without him in the mix.

He didn't really come back from his holidays,did he. Great form in the early season,then.....
Got to be worth a punt,I suppose.

Of course not.... I know some of you may be wondering "what's going on with that for next year" now actually, so just for information i don't believe it'll be happening for us next year.
@Welsh Muffin has a week in Croatia and i've got a week in Morzine with the boy. But i've certainly not given it up as an idea with Portimao for 2023. But there's just no realistic budget for us for next year for it.

The new onboard camera is awesome. Hodgson loves it
It's on rider's left shoulder and shows everything the rider is doing. Really cool

I'm not usually a fan of onboard stuff,but that camera is the biz. I have no TV at the moment,due to building work,so I'm watch on my phone,even on a little screen it's ace. Pic quality is outstanding.
The left thumb fairly gets busy with the rear lowering device.

Lecuona is the fastest of the orangemen. Since he's getting the boot to WSBK,perhaps he's a point to prove?
Other highlights included Miller getting both wheels off the ground over the crest. Bit of the Roo in the boy!

Hodgson was waxing lyrical about it,he said everyone should try to get there for a trackday. Looks class even on the box.
