Marquez suffered a crash during his off-road training which led to a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:‘slight concussion’, and after remaining unwell for several days, the decision was taken to skip this weekend’ℱs second race at Portimao. 

It means Marque⛄z misses out on the opportunity to fight for a third consecutive win, while Bradl will in💮stead 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 looking forward to ridin𒐪g again as Portimao is an enjoyable circuit where we had a good result towards the end of 2020," ꦇ;said Bradl. 

"It’s never easy to jump on the bike, but we have had a lot of good bike time🏅 t🍬his year between the races and testing."

Bradl will line-up alo🥂ngside Pol Espargaro who claimed his first podium of the y🥂ear in Misano - his first as a Repsol Honda rider too. 

But even though the Spaniard is high on confidence, ‘I think it coul🌞d be a bit difficult this weekend’.

Espargaro said: "We ﷺhad 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 g𓃲ood as we already have knowledge of the track but I think it could be a bit difficult this weekend compared to Misano. 

"Conditions will be different compa🅺red to the last time here so we have to understand wh🃏at adjustments we will need. 

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