Marc Marquez has reappeared in the last MotoGP tests, with results that have left the other riders stunned. Is the return to the race close?
The tests have just been completed MotoGP in Misano. The focus is clearly all on the dominator of the category of the last decade, engaged in a difficult recovery. Marc Marquez however, it did not go unnoticed, and not only for its championship value. The multi-champion from Cervera, stopped since last May for fourth intervention, has already managed to shine.
