We are a week into the 2020 MotoGP season, and already we're mired in controversy as Honda team boss Alberto Puig and certain sects of the media claim the current campaign will forever have an asterisk next to it if Marc Marquez doesn't win it.
Breaking his right arm in a heavy accident in the latter stages of the Spanish Grand Prix, Marquez's title defence took a serious knock as he registered his first DNF since Austin last year and looked set to be sidelines for at least one race.
MotoGP's own Six Million Dollar Man, as he has done for the last 27 years, is attempting to defy all the odds and race this weekend at the Andalusian GP (also being run at Jerez) having passed a medical examination on Thursday. He will sit out Friday's running and test his arm on Saturday before making a decision on whether he will race.
