Marquez trained with RC213V-S, the mass-produced version of the MotoGP bike he rides.
"@marcmarquez93 is back on track riding the RC213V-S as he continues to further assess his condition ahead of the 2022 season," the Repol Honda team wrote on Twitter.
Marquez will follow the advice of the medical team after completing training in Portimao to confirm whether or not he will be fit for the pre-season test in Sepang, Malaysia, on February 5-6.
"A vision problem is never easy. This last month, I was starting to feel better and better, and it’s nice to start feeling better," Marquez said during the HRC team presentation on Friday.
"Since I had the accident, it’s been difficult. But I’ve just followed the advice of my doctor, the one that fixed my vision in 2011." (motogp/antara/mcr20/jpnn)
