Dani Pedrosa, one of the Grand Prix legends who enjoys semi-retirement as he works hard as a test rider for KTM, was not indifferent to the case of Marc Marquez at Mugello. And for good reason: injuries have punctuated his career, he knows the suffering and the moral strength it takes to overcome them. He even knows the American hospital where he went to have his last chance operation on his arm. And for good reason: he went there. This is what he thinks…
Dani Pedrosa was touched by the words of Marc Marquez during his press conference made on Saturday at Mugello after qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix. Because it also reminded him of his experience… “ I understand what Marc Marquez is going through » he said on AS. " Obviously, every injury is different, but when I say I understand it, that means that I understand the fears, the suffering, the doubts, the uncertainties, the difficulty of staying there in this situation against others in optimal conditions... All champions, at one time or another, experience these moments ».
Dani Pedrosa has mixed memories of the hospital where Marc Marquez is currently
And when he went through this period, even thinking of stopping everything in the middle of the season, he went to this Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. And it had been an…unfortunate experience. He says : " it's the same establishment where I went at the end of the last race of the previous season where I thought about abandoning the competition. I went to Mayo for treatment, but I didn't find the answer I was looking for and I started the season, and I didn't find the solution there either ».
What to worry about Marc Marquez ? AS asks him this question: is it the same doctor who treated him who will now operate Marc Marquez ? He answers : " no, it was someone else ". We are almost reassured.
