ISTANBUL (AA) - Marc Marquez of the Repsol Honda Team has been diagnosed with a new episode of diplopia after his crash in the warm-up session of Sunday’s Indonesian Grand Prix.

He could not participate in the Indonesian Grand Prix as he suffered concussion following the crash.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Marquez said: “It seems that I am experiencing déjà vu... During the trip back to Spain, I began to have discomfort with my vision, and we decided to visit Dr. Sánchez Dalmau, who confirmed that I have a new episode of diplopia.”

“Fortunately, it is 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 evolves. As always, thank you very much to everyone for your support!!,” the 29-year-old added.

He had also suffered a similar episode at the end of the last season.

Marquez is a six-time MotoGP champion and the youngest rider to win six premier-class titles (26 years and 231 days).
