On February 5th, in Malaysia, Marc Marquez will finally be back riding a MotoGP. 104 days after 24 October, the date of the last race (won) by the Spanish champion last year, the eight-time world champion will finally be able to savor the emotions of the track driving the new RC213V built by Honda. Even the last winter, for # 93, was anything but simple. The return of the diplopia, who had already seriously jeopardized his career in 2011. This time the problem of double vision was added to all the troubled recovery path that the Cervera champion had undertaken after the fracture of the humerus of his right arm – which took place in July 2020 – and the complicated three operations that followed.
Speaking through the official channels of the Honda Repsol team, the six-time winner of the World Championship in the premier class recounted his difficult off-season, divided between the desire to get back on the bike and the real fear of having to put an end to his entire career. “The truth is, there has been a lot of uncertainty – admitted Marquez – it was all a bit chaotic at times, but perhaps it could be summed up as just another difficult winter. Sometimes I didn’t know when I would be able to compete again either if I was able to do it. It’s been a really tough month. With double vision it is difficult to live a normal life and I needed to stay at home, still, so it was quite uncomfortable “.
Now, however, after all the necessary medical checks and the first tests, carried out on both motocross and street bikes, the signs seem to lead to optimism. “Thanks to the advice of Doctor Sanchez Dalmau the recovery was a complete success and I was able to recover my sight well. The Sepang tests will help me see how I am physically – added Marquez, who declared that he arrived in Malaysia in good shape – and especially how is my arm compared to last year. It will also serve to see the work that HRC has done with the new bike and see where we are “he concluded. There is no doubt: already from Sepang the attention will return to being all for him.
