June 16 : Gresini Racing’s Alex Marquez aims to return to action at the Czech Grand Prix race at the Brno Circuit, pending a final medical check-up, Moto GP announced on social media on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old missed the Italian and Hungarian MotoGP races after a horrific crash at the Catalan GP in May.

The Spaniard slammed into the back of Pedro Acosta’s bike and careered towards a wall before cartwheeling through the air as he lost control on the gravel.

Marquez was rushed to hospital, where scans confirmed a marginal fracture in a vertebra near his neck, along with a fracture to his right collarbone, and he had to undergo surgery.
