Marc Marquez is suffering from a second episode of double vision after his accident in the warm-up session on Sunday at the Indonesian Grand Prix, the Honda rider said on Tuesday.
The six-time MotoGP champion suffered a highside on lap seven, which he launched into the air and landed hard on his side. He took a whack on the head, but avoided serious injuries as the cartwheeling bike missed him.
Marquez did not drive after being declared unfit. The 29-year-old suffered a similar episode at the end of last season following a concussion he suffered in a training accident and said he was advised by doctors not to continue running.
“It seems like I’m experiencing déjà vu,” Marquez said on Twitter. “During the trip back to Spain I started to have discomfort with my vision and we decided to visit Dr Sanchez Dalmau, who confirmed that I had a new episode of Diplopia.

“Fortunately, it’s less severe than the injury I had at the end of last year. But now it’s time to rest and wait to see how the injury develops.”
Honda said Marquez performed a general medical check-up in Madrid to evaluate any injuries caused by the crash and a brain MRI, which confirmed he had not suffered any other injuries.
Marquez, who won six titles between 2013 and 2019, suffered an accident in the first race of the 2020 season when he broke his arm. He also missed four races in 2021 to fully recover from the arm injury and concussion.
