The injured Alex Marquez as been passed fit to ride in this week's official Mot🅠o2 test at Jere🌳z.

Marquez crashed heavily at turn five duri♓ng a private test at the same Spanish Jerez circuit a week ago, fracturing the triquetrum, one of the eight small carpal bones, in his left wrist.

The former Moto3 World ౠChampion had a titanium screw inserted into the bone to stabilise the fracture, with surgeons at the Hospital ♛University Quir?n Dexeus in Barcelona using keyhole surgery techniques to reduce the recovery time.

Since the surgical proce🀅dure, which was carried out under the direction of Doctor Xavier Mir just one week ago, M?rquez has followed an intensive recovery plan to enable his return to action at the first official Moto2 test of the new season this weeꦚk.

"The surgery to stabilise the fracture♈ in my wrist was only last week, so I head to Jerez still not꧃ 100% recovered, but certainly fit enough to test the new suspension and different settings on the bike," he declared. "Sure, the injury will be a handicap, so I'll need to adjust on the bike, but I think my condition is good enough that we can do a good job over the three days at Jerez."

Team Principal Michael Bartholemy added: "Obviously, with the surgery only taking place seven days ago, he's not completely fit, but his recovery is enough that he won't be hampered too much by th🐻e injury on the bike. Even so, we will monꦓitor his condition closely over the three days at Jerez and we won't hesitate to call a halt if we feel the risk starts to outweigh the benefit of him testing."
