MotoGP world championship leader after two Grands Prix Johann Zarco has commented on the prospect of Marc Marquez returning to his Honda. A reunion with the competition which will be anything but easy. Even with the innate talent of the eight-time World Champion. In fact, he could not choose a more difficult route in more complicated conditions. The Honda official is indeed taking charge again on a physically and mentally demanding Portimao track that he has never challenged with a MotoGP. The Pramac Ducati rider is therefore awaiting the rest with interest…
Marc Marquez don't know Portimao than through a day of training with an RC213V-S. A very different machine from the one he has in MotoGP. Johann zarco underlines this by analyzing the situation on motogp.com : " due to its altitude difference, Portimão is a fairly physical circuit. I don't know his condition at all, he didn't come to Qatar to continue recovering. I'm quite curious ».
The Frenchman adds: “ we know that he is great, that he can surprise us. But as this convalescence has been very long, I think he will instead test himself on a MotoGP, because the bike on which he has been able to ride recently is not as demanding. In my opinion, it could be like a kind of test to be even stronger ahead of Jerez ».

Everyone is waiting for what level of performance the Spaniard will show from Friday.
We will recall that Marc Marquez will be back on track 271 days after the injury, and 500 will have passed since the last time he crossed a finish line, in Valencia in November 2019. As winner…
