Marc Marquez therefore avoids delicate eye surgery which would have forced him into a period of convalescence likely to endanger his start to the 2022 season. In this sense, the long-awaited Honda press release on the state of health of the eight-time champion takes on the air of good news. But when we come back to it, the enthusiasm fades. Indeed, letting Mother Nature take its course means relying on its very random rhythm and, in fact, without a clear deadline. Likewise, if we note that the Spaniard is going to train for the next season, we must take into account that it will be without riding a motorcycle...
The state of health of Marc Marquez is improving and that's already it. But for an official pilot Honda in MotoGP, it's not really enough. Because diplopia remains relevant and we must now give time to time, a commodity that the world of Grands Prix does not have in stock. While the eight-time World Champion will wait, like a condemned man, for his physical punishment to pass, the opponents will strengthen themselves and resume their rhythm to arrive in February at Sepang sharp and ready for the 2022 fight.
As stated Charles Pernat, Marc Marquez is undoubtedly the strongest and he is therefore ahead of his peers, but in the face of injuries and convalescences which slow him down and impact him, this gap in level is diminishing. A Marc Marquez is not made to stand still and endure. He likes initiative. And he must be patient. Then, on the track, he will no longer be the type to play extra while waiting to recover all of his resources. He wants to win, or nothing.

Should we expect a reinvented Marc Marquez on a remodeled Honda in 2022?
SO ? First of all, we have to hope that the natural evolution of things is rapid enough to meet us at Sepang at the beginning of February. A challenge, even for the beginning of March in Qatar, when the first Grand Prix of the season will take place. Then, even when you return, you will need to know what form he will be in. Because his training, even if authorized, will be minimalist. Meanwhile, the transfer market will take its course and Honda logically left to make his basket there while eyeing two World Champions who are not even 24 years old yet, while Marc Marquez is on the verge of thirty, with a body that has already seen a lot.
Less than Marc Marquez has enough talent and potential in reserve to, in a way, reinvent himself. And this is perhaps the real challenge awaiting the eight-time World Champion. A path that Chicho Lorenzo also recalled on Mowmag : " with what happens to Marc Márquez, first the arm, with its complications, now the eye, I find interesting what Luca Cadalora said, wondering that in the case where Marc no longer has magic this would not be the time to reinvent yourself. It's logic. Everything seems to be going wrong, but if he can reinvent himself, he will win again and perhaps come back stronger than ever ". And we will remember that, for that, he could also benefit from a Honda finally completely revised and corrected. So far, we know Marc Marquez The way that Alberto puig describes it: “ Marc is a total runner, he is powerful, he has a lot of potential, he is intuitive, he is courageous.”
