Marquez has been absent from MotoGP since undergoing a fourth operation on his right arm, but was given the green light to ride a road bike at Aragon this week.

'Satisfied' with that outing on the CBR600RR, the eight-time world champion will now head straight to Misano to witness the remainder of the race weekend, before making a MotoGP return on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Misano test is the final chance to ride a MotoGP bike outside of a race weekend until Valencia in November.
