Gillim Stays Put For 2023 H ayden Gillim will stay at the Infinity Fall Protection/ Disrupt Racing team for Mo- toAmerica 2023, as he takes on a full house of 1000cc duties in the Medallia Superbike Cham- pionship and the Yuasa Stock 1000 Championship. In addition, Gillim will compete on the team's Suzuki GSX-R750 in the 81st run- ning of the Daytona 200. "I'm excited to be a part of the Disrupt Racing team again for 2023," Gillim said. "We have a few things left to prove to every- one, and having a season on the bikes, I believe next year is going to be really fun. I'm also pumped to be going back to Daytona for the 200 and having another crack at that. I'm excited to do some more traveling with my wife (Summer) and son (Stone), and I plan to bring home some more hardware." During the 2022 season, Gillim completed Disrupt Racing's first season in the Medallia Superbike Championship and finished eighth in the final standings. Meanwhile, in the Yuasa Stock 1000 Champi- onship, he tied for first on points at the season's end with Corey Alexander, but was awarded sec- ond place in the championship as a result of a tiebreaker. CN IN THE WIND P32 Hayden Gillim celebrates after winning the final Stock 1000 race of the season in Alabama. He'll be back with the same team in 2023. Marc Marquez Amazon Prime Series Released M arc Marquez will have his own five- part docu-series Marc Marquez: All In on Amazon Prime. The series will focus on Marquez's numerous racing returns from injuries sustained since 2020, when he broke his right humerus at the Spanish Grand Prix. The eight-time World Champion underwent four operations on his arm but the one that made the difference was made here in America, a bone re-alignment surgery that finally got his arm in the correct position to heal properly. He also suffered another potential career-threat- ening injury at the end of 2021 of diplopia (double vision) that he first encountered after a monster crash in Malaysia in 2011 in his Moto2 career. This time it was an enduro crash that caused the injury, but the Spaniard's vision problems flared up again after a massive high-side during practice for the 2022 Indonesian MotoGP in which he suffered a concussion and several minor traumas. Marc Marquez: All In shows Marquez's single- minded determination to get back in the saddle of his Repsol Honda and should be a great watch for all the action-starved MotoGP fans during the off- season. It will debut in February, 2023 on Amazon Prime. CN
