(Reuters) – Honda’s Marc Marquez will miss MotoGP’s Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin this weekend as he continues to recover from a hand injury.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard, an eight times world champion with six titles in the top category, underwent surgery to his right hand after a collision in the season-opening race in Portugal last month.<\/p>\n

Repsol Honda said in a statement that a decision had been taken to let the hand heal fully and avoid any unnecessary risks.<\/p>\n

“Marquez will continue to work through his rehabilitation program at home in order to return at full fitness as soon as possible,” the team added.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard has a stellar record at the Circuit of the Americas, winning six years in a row between 2013-18 and going from last to sixth in 2022 after also winning in 2021.<\/p>\n

Marquez collected a double long lap penalty for the collision with RNF Racing’s Miguel Oliveira in Portugal but missed the subsequent race in Argentina.<\/p>\n

MotoGP has said the Spaniard must serve the penalty, which remains under appeal by Honda, at the next MotoGP race he participates in.<\/p>\n
