#Marquez has diplopia after crash in Mandalika
Marc Marquez is experiencing double vision problems or diplopia after crashing during the warm-up session for the Indonesian Grand Prix in Mandalika on Sunday, the Honda rider said as quoted by Reuters on Tuesday.
The six-time MotoGP champion had a crash at turn seven that sent him flying into the air for a hard landing on the edge. He hit his head but was spared serious injury when his motorbike was spinning in the air but missed him.
Marquez did not race after being declared unfit. The 29-year-old had a similar episode late last season after a concussion he suffered in a crash during training and said doctors advised him not to continue racing.
"I think I'm having deja vu," Marquez said on Twitter. "During the trip back to Spain, I felt uncomfortable with my vision and we decided to visit Dr. Sanchez Dalmau who confirmed I had another episode of diplopia."
"Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as the injury I had at the end of last year. But now it's time to rest and wait to get this far."
Honda said Marquez had undergone a medical in Madrid to evaluate all the bruising caused by the crash and an MRI of the brain to confirm he had no other injuries.
Marquez, who won six titles between 2013 and 2019, had a season-ending crash in the first race of the 2020 season when he broke his arm. He also missed four races in 2021 in order to fully recover from an arm injury and concussion.
