The Grand Prix of the Americas will not be attended by Marc Marquez this weekend as the Repsol Honda rider continues to heal from a hand injury.
In the Portuguese Grand Prix last month, the six-time MotoGP champion broke the first metacarpal bone in his right hand.
After having surgery, he missed the Argentine Grand Prix.
Marquez had been anticipated to make a comeback this week at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, but he revealed on social media on Tuesday that his knee has not yet entirely healed.
“I have just had a CAT scan and it was confirmed that the bone is still in the process of healing,” he said.
“After talking with the medical team led by Dr. Ignacio Roger de Ona, we have decided not to take any risks and therefore I won’t be able to ride in Austin.
“I will continue working and rehabilitating as I have been doing so far to be able to get back on the bike as soon as possible.”
