Last Thursday, Alex Marquez presented the sixth edition of the Allianz Junior Motor Camp at the Rufea motocross circuit, near Lleida, where he will be a luxury instructor for twenty young riders between 10 and 13 years, previously selected by the two. brothers of Cervera.
Those responsible for the event initially justified the absence of Marc Márquez with the injury he suffered during an Enduro training session last October 30, which prevented him from participating in the last two races of the MotoGP season, in Portimao and Valencia, and in the first pre-season tests of 2022 in Jerez de la Frontera.
However, the surprise for the three girls and 17 boys attending the campus came on Friday when Marc arrived in Rufea to mingle with them and give him some driving advice. Images that the same driver subsequently uploaded to his social networks.
Although the Honda rider is still struggling with his vision problems, waiting to figure out his recovery times, these appearances suggest that he is gradually improving. The hope, of course, is to recover in time for the Sepang tests, scheduled for 5 to 6 February.
“I hope he will be at the test. It will be important for him, and also for us, for Honda, to have a reference and not lose the right direction. I don’t want to consider the possibility that he cannot come to Sepang, I hope that Honda can have everyone. its drivers to take another step forward “, explained Alex in a statement granted to Marca.
Tuesday will be a month after Marc’s injury and, even though the rider is undergoing regular checks, he has given himself until the end of December to make a decision whether or not to undergo the surgery.
“It is a type of injury that needs time, we have to see how it evolves until Christmas, this is the term given by the doctor. It has already happened once (in 2011), it comes to a point where you have to see if the situation is improving or stagnating, then you have to make a decision. You have to be patient “, added the youngest of the Marquez brothers.
Waiting to recover, Marc closely followed last week’s important test in Jerez, where the three Honda riders present worked with the 2022 bike.
“Marc is completely focused on next season, he kept calling me throughout the test and, before going out on the track, he had already told me a few things about the new bike,” said Alex, adding that Santi Hernandez was also present at the test. Marc’s technical chief, who wanted to closely follow the evolution of the new RC213V.
