The Repsol Honda Team has announced that its rider Marc Marquez, who is a six-time MotoGP world champion, would not participate in the Valencia Grand Prix due to vision problems.

"During these days of rest, Marc has continued to feel unwell and has suffered from vision problems, which is why this Monday he was visited by the ophthalmologist Dr. Sanchez Dalmau at the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, who examined him and performed the tests, which detected a new episode of diplopia," it added.
