With the season expected to end on November 22, the six-time Spanish world champion, 27, could therefore miss the entire season. After four events, Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha-SRT) leads the world championship, 11 points ahead of Italian Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati). Due to his accident, Marc Marquez has yet to score any points in the championship and Honda is currently bottom in the constructors' standings with its drivers Alex Marquez - Marc's younger brother - and German Stefan Bradl who replaces the injured Spanish champion. .
