– Reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez will miss his second-straight race after he was ruled out of this Sunday’s Czech Grand Prix following another operation on his fractured right arm, his team said yesterday.

“After undergoing a second operation on his injured right arm, Marc Marquez and HRC have decided that the world champion will not ride in the Czech Republic in order for him to recover more,” Repsol Honda said in a statement.

Marquez will be replaced this weekend by German test rider Stefan Bradl, who has made 95 career starts in the premier class.
