A year of ordeal, a year of intermittence. Hell, purgatory, and then? Marc Marquez hopes to find true joy on two wheels. Which for someone like him means only the world title. In the head of the Cabroncito, the three victories of 2021 must be an appetizer of what is to come this year. Physical condition will obviously be decisive: a form that Honda test rider Stefan Bradl defined at 90%, thanks also to the medical staff who look after Rafael Nadal’s physique.
After the triple operation on his right arm and the diplopia, which Marquez will we see in Lusail for the start of the 2022 World Cup? There are very few days to find out. Meanwhile, the Spaniard promises battle: “What can I say about the beginning of 2022? After what we went through recently my motivation for the start of the season is huge, we have overcome something difficult and now is the time to enjoy the driving, the competition and the fight for the win. This is my 10th year in the MotoGP class and now I am one of the most experienced in the class, there are many new riders but the goal is always the same: fight for the world championship. We arrive with a new bike, we have to see how it performs in Qatar but we have built a good base and I can’t wait to race again. It will be the first time I’ve raced in Qatar since 2019, but I’m ready. Let’s start the season!“.
“After the good tests, I am obviously excited to start a new season. I trained hard during the winter to be as physically prepared as possible. We are now in a very different situation than 12 months ago, I know Honda, I know my team and even if this RC213V is new I am understanding it more and more“Added teammate in Honda, Pol Espargaró. “Yes, the tests went well, but when it comes to racing everything is different. For Qatar, I expect to build a good base of work, to be improved week after week, race after race, but it’s still early days. Overall, I’m just happy to be able to race again“.
