The case of Marc Marquez remains a hot topic that the person himself fuels by proclaiming to anyone who will listen that he is no longer the same since his accident in Jerez in 2019. The eight-time world champion says he is adapting to this new situation while regretting that a Honda is far from being the tool that could help him regain his past splendor. However, Marc Marquez is a man with a body tested by numerous falls and repeated convalescences. There was the episode of diplopia which took center stage at the start of this season, but some paddock observers are convinced that most of the Repsol driver's difficulties come from this shoulder which has been bruised for two years already and which we can legitimately wonder if she will ever recover…
A real subject with serious consequences and which has already ended many prestigious careers in history. This is one injury too many, more serious than those already suffered and which may have been, in the case of Marc Marquez, treated, from the start, with too much lightness.

The manager ofEnea Bastianini as Tony Arbolino adds: " he has a huge problem with his shoulder. Of course, there is also a motorcycle problem, but 70% of his problem is this.

And it's terrible because having a phenomenon like him benefits our entire sport ».

He is currently tenth in the championship, 48 points behind the leader fabio quartararo after seven rounds, including two missed due to diplopia. It is because he still has to have his shoulder treated that Marc Marquez left his beloved Catalonia for the city of Madrid. “ Trips to Madrid were too frequent he explained. " Twice a week for arm recovery and it was very stressful. More than two hours of driving each time and I didn't know if I was going to endure that in a season like this. I told my brother about it and he was delighted at the idea of moving there for a while. It was just a matter of trying to change the recovery of my arm, because the situation was a bit stagnant » he finishes.
