Six-time MotoGP Champions to Miss Season Opener

Doha, March 23 (QNA) - Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Gonzalez will miss the opening two rounds of the season, which are set to take place at Lusail International Circuit in Qatar in late March. He missed all of last season after a heavy fall broke his arm. He had to go through three separate surgeries to address the injury, the last of which was in December. "After the last review with the medical team, the doctors have advised me that the most prudent thing was not to take part in the Qatar Grand Prix and to continue with the recovery plan that we have followed in recent weeks," Marquez said on his verified Twitter profile.
