Alex Marquez hasও given further details of how brother, team-mate and reigning MotoGP champion Marc broke the titanium plate inserted just a week earlier to stabi𝔉lise his fractured right arm.

Forced to back out of 🌼a miraculous early return just days after the initial surgery, Marc theꦗn set his sights on a comeback at this weekend's Brno round, posting videos of gym work with the injured arm as recently as last Sunday.

Then, on Monday evening, Repsol Honda suddenly announced that Marquez had undergone a second round of surgery to replace the plate, which had become 'damaged' due to 'an acc💛umulation of stress'.

No further details were given until team manager Alberto Puig arrived at Brno today (Thursday) and revealed that the plate - "probably" weakened from the exertion of attempting to ride at Jerez and following rehabilitation work – had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:"broken" while Marquez was "opening a win🧸dow".

"I live with Marc and it was 7:30 in the morning, on Monday," explained Alex. "Marc woke up a little bit earlier than me, so I was still𝔉 on🐻 my bed and he woke me already with the arm broken.

"He was only planning to go for a walk with the dogs and rela🅷x a bit, but opening a big window - it's like a door window - broke the arm. It happened like this.

"He wok꧋e me up and also the physio, who was a🙈t home to help with [Marc's] recovery, and then they called Emilio [Alzamora] and went directly to the hospital.

"It was a strange situation but it can happen."

Marc is confirmed as missing this weekend's Czec🎐h round but is also i🎃n major doubt for the following pair of Red Bull Ring races.

HRC test rider Stefan Bradl will replace the #93 this weekend when Alex will be looking to build on his🎀 12-8 finishes at Jerez and also expects to get some advice 💦from Marc watching on TV at home.

"He's my brother and I experienced that [difficult] situation, but nothing changed about how to approach this weeken🌜d for me and these t🍬hree races in a row. The same mentality; try to improve," he said.

"I'm a rookie so every day is important for me. And Marc will say something to me while watching from🍒 home, for sure!

"Three races in a row will be hard physical🌳l🍃y and mentally, but we don’t have so much travelling to do [from Czech Republic to Austria] so I think it'll be better than Japan-Australia-Malaysia. We are riders and we train for this."
