Since last July, Marc Marquez has been in limbo over a humerus injury he suffered on three separate occasions. Forced and forced to stay away from an RC213V that he now regrets having wanted to find too quickly, he immerses himself in his memories to keep his morale and the direction. On the official motogp.com website, he confides in the two moments experienced that he considers to be privileged since he was in MotoGP…
Marc Marquez, in his misfortune, will have a little more time to recover from his humerus injury. With the cancellation of the Sepang tests, which were to mark the return of the category in this year 2021, he can see beyond mid-February as the deadline for a return. Unless other places on the same dates for the same cause are decided by Dorna.
The health crisis is therefore the involuntary ally of his medical situation while at Honda, we follow the situation closely with our hand placed on the handset of a telephone which has the number ofAndrea Dovizioso in memory. On motogp.com, Marc Marquez reported what were the best moments felt since he was in MotoGP.
His arrival took place in 2013 and he already has 56 victories. But even though time has embellished the record, it is the moments experienced when he was 20 years old that remain most imprinted in the mind of the eight-time World Champion. Marc Marquez states thus: “ my best race? It's difficult to pin down. It was perhaps not the best race in terms of spectacle. But I would say my first podium in MotoGP ". It thus designates the 2013 Qatar Grand Prix in Losail as his favorite race.
At the time, Marquez had finished on the third step of the podium in his first MotoGP race. Jorge Lorenzo, Yamaha factory rider, had won a resounding victory. In the duel with the M1 of Valentino Rossi, Marquez had narrowly lost.

Nor even from Honda which has always had problems on this track in the middle of the desert where we drive under the light of the floodlights. Nevertheless, Marc Marquez took third place, which is a good result.
However, it went even better two weeks later. On April 21, 2013, he achieved the feat of making it happen during the first MotoGP event in Austin. The young man, then aged 20, won his first victory in his second race. “ It is so difficult to control your emotions and your mind. It's hard to stay focused for a full race » commented the eldest Marquez.
« So I would say that my first podium in Qatar in 2013 and my first victory in Austin in 2013 were my best races », concludes the man who became world champion during his first season. At the age of 20, he became the youngest driver in the history of the premier category to win the crown. A campaign which was followed by other successes at the world championships in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Since 2020 and this cursed drop in Jerez, we await his return...
