World champion Marc Marquez made his remarkable return four days after surgery in Saturday's Andalucia MotoGP third practice with MaverickMarquez sat out Friday's two opening sessions to conserve his energy for qualifying later on Saturday.
The 27-year-old Honda star had been declared fit to race on Thursday despite an operation just 48 hours earlier on a broken arm sustained in a heavy crash in last Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix opener, also at Jerez. Marquez is hoping to qualify for the second leg of the coronavirus-disrupted season later on Saturday. He posted a time that left him 20th, 1.3 seconds behind Yamaha's Vinales, who lowered Fabio Quartararo's circuit record set last weekend with a time of 1 min 36.584 seconds.
Quartararo, who became the first French MotoGP winner since 1999 when he took the delayed season-opener, posted the second quickest practice time ahead of Ducati's Australian rider and Japan's Takaaki Nakagami for Honda's LCR satellite team.
