Given how the last two years have gone, superstition is a must, but now it really seems that the infinite physical ordeal faced by Marc Marquez is about to end. The eight-time world champion, stopped from July 2020 onwards first by the terrible injury to the humerus of the right arm – with related complications – and then blocked again at the end of last season by diplopia, is in fact finally back in the saddle. The news was given directly by Honda, through a press release that certainly makes all the fans of # 93 breathe a great sigh of relief. In fact, Marquez undertook a complete training in motocross, as confirmed by several videos posted on his social channels by the Spanish rider himself.
“Marc Marquez – reads the note issued by the top management of HRC – he underwent a medical examination last Monday with Dr. Sánchez Dalmau, to analyze the situation of his diplopia. The ophthalmologist confirmed a marked improvement in vision of the eight-time world champion. Thanks to these advances, the Repsol Honda Team rider received authorization to ride a motorcycle and motocross – the most demanding discipline possible in the two-wheel world – was the option chosen by Marquez and his team. After an absence of three months, the Spaniard is back to driving on the Ponts circuit (Lleida). After several laps, his feelings on the bike were more than optimistic ”.
