Stefan꧃ Bradl will replace Marc Marquez at this weekend’s Algarve MotoGP following the eight-time world champion’s recent training accident. 

Marquez suffered a crash during his off-road training which led to a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:‘slight concussion’, and after remaining unwell for several days, the decision was taken to skip this weekend’s second race at Portimao.&nbsꦍp;

It means Marquez🍰 misses out on the opportunity to fight for a third consecutive ಞwin, while Bradl will instead compete in his fifth round this year.

"First of all I hope Marc is recovering well and he can be back on track soon. I am ꦗlooking forward to riding again as Portimao is an eꦿnjoyable circuit where we had a good result towards the end of 2020," said Bradl. 

"It’s never easy🃏 to jump on the bike, but we have had a lot of good bike time this year betwee꧟n the races and testing."

Bradl will line-up alongside Pol Espargaro who claimed his first po☂dium of the year in Misano - hi🐭s first as a Repsol Honda rider too. 

But even though the Spaniard ꦬis h💙igh on confidence, ‘I think it could be a bit difficult this weekend’.

Espargaro sai🐎d: "We had a great weekend in Misano and we were♕ able to show what we can do on the Honda but now we have a new challenge. 

"Having already raced in Portugal this year will be good as we already have knoꦗwledge of the track but I think it could be a😼 bit difficult this weekend compared to Misano. 

"Conditions will be different comp🍒ared to the last time here so we have to understand what adjustments we will need. 

"The motivation is so high to push in the♔se final rounds and reward the team again. I want to wish Marc a speedy recovery."
