Marc Marquez undergoes hand surgery after crashing in Jerez

TIL Desk Sports/ MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez recently underwent succesful hand surgery after crashing at season-opening race in Jerez.

There has been no return date announced yet for the eight-time world champion as a metal plate was inserted in his arm and he was directed to stay at the Barcelona hospital for couple of days.

“His aim is to return to the 2020 World Championship as soon as possible with an expected date becoming clearer soon,” Marquez’s team Honda was quoted as saying in a statement.

After mounting an incredible comeback in the Spanish GP, Marquez suffered a high side at Turn 3 and came down heavily on his right arm on July 19.
