MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez broke his lower right leg during a dirt-track training accident in L🧔leida, west of Barcelona, on Wednesday afternoon.

Marquez was immediately taken to the Universitario Quir?n Dexeus Hospital where Dr. Xavier Mir treated what🍸 is officially described as 'a spiral fracture of the distal third of his right fibula'.

"It was a really unfortunate accident that could happe🃏n to anyone at anytime," said Marquez. "I was rushed to hospital and Dr. Mir treated me, thankfully there was n♔o ligament damage and it seems like a clean break."

Dr. Mir confirmed: "The resul🌠ts showed no ligament damage or dislocation and no need to proceed with surgery. I expect he will need 3-4 weeks to fully recover."

'Marc has already started rehabilitation with magnetic therapy', said a Rep🐻sol Honda Team statement. 'He will remain non-weight bearing 𝔉for two weeks, meaning he will certainly miss next week's Sepang test and possibly the following week in Phillip Island, Australia.

'Full recovery is expected f🦩or the [season opening] Qatar MotoGP race on 23 Maꦛrch.'

21-year-old Marquez - who won the MotoGP crown at his first attempt - was fastest on all three days of the opening Sepang test earlier this month, including a new unof༒ficial all-time lap record.

Marquez claimed six wins la🎀st season - and fought for victory to the final turn at Silverstone, despite dislocating his s𝔉houlder a few hours earlier.
