It's a given, Marc Marquez is not in the best of his form. The nine months spent at home treating a serious fracture of the humerus were only one step in a convalescence that is still ongoing. At Mugello, he worried and it was only last weekend. He therefore, for the first time since his return to competition, has two successive meetings. Will he withstand the shock? Certain elements suggest that yes…
For the first time since his return, Marc Marquez will compete in consecutive races. The stress of two Grand Prix weekends in a row will be another test of his physical condition. At Mugello, however, his race ended early with a crash on the second lap. Likewise, rain is expected in Barcelona, which puts ever less strain on the organisms, even if the nerves are on the contrary put to the test.
Marc Marquez welcomes fans' return
« Even though our race wasn't good, there were also some positives to our weekend at Mugello because we were pretty consistent », comments the Spaniard from 28 years on the eve of its national and regional meeting. “ We know where we are, we know where we want to go, and we will continue to take the right steps week after week ».
Ahead of the home Grand Prix weekend, there are reasons to be happy for the eight-time world champion: “ looks like we will have some fans in the Montmeló stands again. The fans always create a great atmosphere. It will be very nice to see people in the stands for the home Grand Prix ».
