MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez broke his lower right leg during a dirt-track training accident in Lleida, west of Barcelona, on Wednesday aft💟ernoon.

Marquez was immediately tak๊en to the Universitario Quir?n Dexeus Hospital where Dr. Xavier Mir treated what is officially described as 'a spiral fracture of the distal third of his right fibula'.

"It was a really unfortunate accident that could happen to anyone at anytime," said Marquez. "I was rushed to 🦄hospital and Dr. Mir treated me, thankfully there was no ligament damage and it seems like a clean break."

Dr. Mir confirmed: "The results showed no liꦿgament damage or dislocation and no need to proceed with surgery. I expect he will need 3-4 weeks to fully recover."

'Marc has already started rehabilitation with magnetic therapy', said a Repsol Honda Team statement. 'He will remain non-weight bearing for two weeks, meaning he will certainly miss next week's Sepang test and poss𝄹ibly the following week in Phillip Island, Australia.

'Full recover🍌y is expected for the [season opening] Qatar MotoGP race o🔴n 23 March.'

21-year-old Marquez - who won the MotoGP crown at his first attempt - was fastest on aꦕll th🌸ree days of the opening Sepang test earlier this month, including a new unofficial all-time lap record.

Marque🍬z claimed six wins last season - and fought for victory to the final turn at Silverstone, despite dislocating his shoulder a few hours earlier.
