On Saturday at the Styrian Grand Prix, Honda confirmed MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez's recovery from a second operation on the right arm he broke at the Spanish GP last month will go on for at least another two months.
The reigning world champion has been sidelined since the Andalusian GP and was expected to make his return to action in September for the Misano/Catalunya triple-header.
Honda put absolutely no pressure on Marquez to return for the Andalusian GP, contrary to what social media's keyboard warriors would have you believe, but not having him back for the San Marino GP is definitely cause for deep disconsolation within HRC. After five races, it's fifth in the constructors' table on 48 points and still without a podium.
