Jerez MotoGP: Another fast fall for Marc Marquez in warm-up
After 🌺a 180km/h fall on Saturday, his first accident since breaking his right-arm last July, Marc Marquez has suffered a near identical crash in a chilly morning warm-up session at Jerez.
Saturday's Turn 7 accident required precautionary scans in hospital before a return to action in the afternoon, while Sunday morning saw Marquez lose the fr🍎ont of his RCV at the Turn 4 left-hander.
The similar high-speed meant Marquez onc𝄹e again skimmed over the gravel trap aಌnd into an airfence, albeit with a softer impact than yesterday.
And now is down!!!

Another high speed crash for the rider but we're plea💯sed to report he's uninjureꦦd!
Marquez's 💎accident came just minutes after Repsol Honda team-mate Pol Espargaro, who ♑also fell at Turn 7 yesterday, lost control of his machine at Turn 10 this morning.
Both riders were un🍃hurt and will line-up 13th (Espargaro) and 14th (Marquez) on this afternoon's gri🔯d.
Marquez had been planning to try some bike set-up changes in warm-🤪up for what is only his second race weekend since returning to MotoGP action folꦓlowing three rounds of surgery on his right arm.
