How is Marc Marquez? Until the last few days, we thought he was on the right track, a trajectory that would bring him back to his RC213V for a reunion before the end of the season. Then there was a rumor about a third operation, quickly denied, but which did not dispel any doubt about the true course of his convalescence. Since then, we have closed the subject at Honda, which is not reassuring…
Behind the scenes of Teruel Grand Prix which are the same as that of a Aragon Grand Prix which took place last weekend, Alberto puig et Alex Marquez get spotted because of their shirt Repsol Honda to be asked about the state of health of Marc Marquez. And on the date of his possible return. There are three Grands Prix remaining, including two successive ones in Valencia before the discovery final in Portimao.
The answer, in the event of a possible return, is therefore not complicated to give. But she doesn't come. Worse, there may never be a conversation on the subject again. Alex Marquez declared with a hint of annoyance: “ As far as Marc's situation is concerned, nothing has changed, everything remains as it has been in recent weeks, he continues his convalescence. I will no longer answer questions about Marc, I'm focused on my weekend and I don't want to be questioned about it anymore. Let's forget about him and focus on me ».
Alberto puig, for his part added: “ Marc tries to recover. His recovery is slower than expected. At the moment, there is no reason to think about anything else. It is very likely that this recovery process will continue little by little ».
Alex Marquez stronger than Lorenzo and Pedrosa
To talk about something else, the same Puig looked at the case of Alex whose latest performances border on revelation: “ Pedrosa and Lorenzo are two of the best riders I have ever met, but for some reason they were not able to adapt to our bike. Of course, their value is indisputable. For some reason, Alex understood this bike which is very delicate. You have to ride it a certain way to get the most out of it and he did that in a short time. He has many merits and congratulations must be given to him ».
Then the same Puig ends with reassurance Pol Espargaro… Or almost ! “ We believe that the decision to transfer Alex to LCR was the right one and we continue to believe in it. Alex will continue to be a Honda rider for the next two years. He will race with the same bike, but in another team. He knows perfectly well that he will have the full support of Honda. He will have a factory contract and can return to this team ". So Pol Espargaro nevertheless warned that he had better quickly show himself to his advantage...
