While Alex Marquez is vomiting, Marc Marquez is barbecuing!
The injured Repsol Honda rider posted pictures enjoying a barbecue on Sunday ahead of the MotoGP Grand Prix༺ of the Americas - a stark contrast to his brothe🍌r’s weekend.

Will Marc Marquez be concerned by his absence?
Marc cut a relaxed figure as he recovered from hand surgery sustained when he crashed into Miguel Olivei𝓀ra in the season-opener at Portimao.
But perhaps he should be more worried - he is already 47 points away from Marco Bezzecchi who leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings.
Marquez’s hope💞s to hit 2023 free of injury ended less than three grand prix laps into the new season when an ambitious overtake of Oliveira went wrong.
He may be smiling and enjoying 𒊎a barbecue in the sun, but he is a seven-time winner of the Gran💛d Prix of the Americas who must realise his hopes of winning this season’s championship are dwindling away as his rivals fight for supremacy on his favourite weekend of the year.
Aged 29 he is the third-oldest rider on the current grid 🧜so he must know that♑ time is running out.
Marquez is contracted to Honda for two more years but is stuck with a below-par bike that trails behind the dominance of the Ducatis. His injury history and his machinery are the key issues 🔥preventing this incredible talent from claiming a seventh premier class title.
Will Marc Marquez serve a double long lap penalty?
The status of the double long lap penalty he received for that incident remไains up in the air.
The MotoGP Court of Appeal granted a “stay of execution” meaning the final decis𝓡ion - whether Marquez m📖ust serve the penalty upon his return, or whether it has expired - is yet to be determined.
When will Marc Marquez race again?
Marquez hopes to return at Jerez, the fourth round of ꦯthe season, from April 28.
Jerez is notoriously the scene of one of Marquez's worst crashes and injuries. He brok🐈e his right arm three years ago.
Retu☂rning at Jerez will depend entirely on how his hand injury heals. Oscar Haro, the former LCR Honda sporting director, clai💖med that the bone that Marquez broke is so delicate that, should it be rebroken again, it could result in a four-month absence from MotoGP.
