The Grands Prix pass, like the days and months and the question concerning Marc Marquez is redundant at each meeting of the MotoGP calendar: when will he return to what he was before his accident at Jerez in July 2019? Still questioning ourselves in this way in 2022 is like believing in the eternal return. From the declarations of the eight-time World Champion that seem like a half-confession to observers in the paddock, the trend is growing towards an outcome which is becoming less and less taboo in conversations: that of the end of his career. The twilight of a God? We will see, but we are also perhaps on the cusp of a revelation: the Honda official will never recover from his arm injury.
The version is brutal, but it cannot be dismissed when Marc Marquez himself blurted out in the middle of the Grand Prix: “ my arm and shoulder are not the same as before ". And then there are also these contradictions which almost betray a dismay: he says he will never be the same again, but he works to recover. Finally, every weekend, the arm of Marc Marquez is examined closely in the mobile clinic. Doctors and physiotherapists monitor him from Friday to Sunday of a Grand Prix. We can say that the eight-time world champion undergoes therapy at each meeting to be at one hundred percent of his abilities. Besides, hasn't he already recognized that he had to save money by sacrificing a practice session from time to time to be in top form when the moments matter?
All this is known to the paddock. And this is a subject that was addressed by boy lorenzo on the Youtube channel in his show 'Motogepeando'. Jorge’s father has a conviction, formed with these observations: “ Marc Marquez won 3 races last year, it's clear that it was on very favorable circuits for him. Circuits in which he had always dominated, but he won. And now, he doesn't even win on these circuits anymore. My question right now is this: is it possible that his physique has deteriorated? ».
« What happened was that there was a setback in the physical recovery of Marc Marquez«
« It will be clear that his arm and shoulder will no longer have the maneuverability, power, muscularity or strength that they previously had. Apparently he doesn't have that musculature anymore.. Even he admitted that he has to manage all the energy during the weekend and on Monday after the Grand Prix, he cannot strain them but must let them recover » said boy lorenzo.
The Spaniard continues his demonstration thus: “ last year he won three races and his level was better than this year, because he was there to fight for podiums and win races, while now he can't even get close to the top 3 positions ". And he makes this worrying observation: “ what happened was there was a setback in his physical recovery, this is not common in all injuries. You may have an injury, but in the recovery process you need to improve, but we find that there is no such improvement ».
« From the outside I say there is a big problem that they are hiding from us and it is something obvious ". And with that, boy lorenzo draws the following conclusion: “ the situation is more serious than what we know as fans, reading or watching communication videos. All this doesn't suit me. Last year he was winning races, he was more competitive and he spent over a year recovering and didn't improve his results. There is one clear thing, at Honda there are a lot of doubts, and with all motorcycles they do not achieve results ».
Certainly, but we can also say that the level of MotoGP has risen further, without waiting for the recovery of a Marc Marquez who drives a new Honda which he recognizes is not yet “ hers ". A situation which would also have made life more difficult for a man from Cervera who is even more in shape and who is under contract Honda to 2024.
