Marc Marquez completed his first Moto2 laps since last October's Malaysian Grand Prix accident, during a surprise appearance at Alcarras in Spain🌸.

The 2011 world championship runner-up's attendance was not officially announced, bu𝔍t some BSB riders also testing reported the news.

"Pretty cool for Marc Marqueไz to turn up at Alcarras on his Suter Moto2 bike!" read a Tweet by WFR Honda rider James Westmoreland (@Westybsb27).

A picture of Marquez riding 🤪down the﷽ pit lane on an unbranded motorcycle with orange wheels also appeared on Twitter.

This ও[Tuesday] evening, Twitter messages from Repsol (@Box_Repsol) finally confirmed it had indeed been Marquez:

"Hello! Today we have good news t🔯o give you: Marc Marquez rode at a good pace at Alcarras and will now train at Albacete.

"Earlier today he did a bit 🧸of🧸 supermoto, and then completed a total of 8 laps of Moto2. :)"

A later press release then added further details:

"Marc M?rquez will be on track in a private test in Albacete this Thursday and Friday. The Repsol rider will head to Albacete tomorrow, having confirmed his 😼positive recovery from eye surgery with time on his Suter Moto2 today. The Spaniard has already received the all clear from doctors following a final check-up this week and many miles onboard a motocross and supermotard bike.

"M?rquez was ba💃ck on two wheels today at the Alcarr?s Cirucit. After an early morning Supermotard session he undertook 8 laps onboard his Moto2 bike --in order to make sure that he was ready for a return to testing. The objective in Albacete will be to further evaluate his recovery."

The Repsol 𒁃Suter star, who won seven races during his rookie campaign, had not ridden a Moto2 machine since suffering eye problems following a practice fall on an unmarked section of wet track at the penultimate 2011 round.

Marquez subsequently underwent surgery to cure double vision problems and, although he has been training on a motocross bike, has missed twꦿo of the 🍨three 2012 pre-season Moto2 tests.

The final official Moto2 pre-season test ꦓwill be held at Jerez from Marchꦗ 19-21, with the season-opening race in Qatar on April 8.

19-year-old Marq🐷uez, a former 125cc 🌸world champion, had previously stated there was a 'small chance' he could miss the opening round, but also that his team was planning private test sessions to make up for any lost time.
