Marc Marquez fractured the base of the first metatarsal on his thumb when he fell in the season opener in Portimao, Portugal, on Sunday. The 30-year-old Spaniard has already undergone surgery. The six-time MotoGP champion will miss the second race of the season in Argentina. He’s targeting a return to the USA Grand Prix in Austin on April 16th. If successful, he faces a long double penalty as Márquez was injured following a collision that was at fault.
