The Marc Marquez case continues to fuel conversations and, since this accident in Jerez in 2020, it has become above all a medical chronicle. We know that the eight-time World Champion has undergone a fourth operation in less than two years on his right humerus and that this surgery will be, whatever happens, the last. In view of the damaging precipitation in the past in the resumption of activity on a grueling MotoGP, one would have thought that we would never say another word about this deadline before being certain that the convalescence is going well, and after a sufficient period to that it has entered a final phase. But listening to Alberto Puig, we have a sense of doubt, and that worries some whose job is to care…
Certainly, the same Alberto puig also swore that the priority of priorities was the recovery of the victim Marc Marquez, but he also slipped during the German Grand Prix: “ it will be very important that he can come back and test the bike for the end of the season. We have trials and tests which are very important for the development of the motorcycle ". The Spaniard would like to make his eight-time World Champion feel guilty for staying so far from a Honda who needs his expertise so much, that the Repsol team manager could not have gone about it better.
A sensitive chord that has already taken its toll and brought him to where he is currently… On motoracenation, we read the opinion of a specialist, a man of the art, who sounds the alarm about a return to the handlebars of the RC213V which would begin to be considered for September 6 and 7 next, in Misano, where tests are planned... It's called Ruben Garcia and to understand his level of competence on the subject, it should be noted that he is an expert physiotherapist in assessing personal injuries with extensive experience in rehabilitation and recovery from all kinds of injuries.
He says : " I wouldn't give Marc Marquez a bike until October or November and just to see how he feels ". He explains : " complications will appear, tendinosis and structural friction will appear, in this new position of the humerus we must see how the shoulder will adapt to this new position. Things that are easily resolved because the means exist ". But it is clear on one point: no RC213V in September: “ it would be very hasty, it would be suicidal ».
« In no case would I have let Marc Marquez do the exercises«
We learn that it is in the sixth week of operation that we will have a more precise idea of what will happen to the career and life of Marc Marquez : " this is due to the period of consolidation, checking the condition of the bone and making decisions, but six weeks for an injury of this type, with the experience we already have and knowing that the humerus transmits all the strength of the arm to him... We should respect the time a little more » further asserts Ruben Garcia : " This is a bone that has suffered brutal stress, infections, nonunion, lack of consolidation and has already undergone four operations. This material must be allowed to rest, it needs to rest. He suffered extreme fatigue ».
The specialist concludes: “ if the patient is mine, under no circumstances will I let him do the exercises that Marc did. But retaining a high-level athlete is very complicated ". All the misfortune experienced by Marc Marquez since July 2020 is summarized in this sentence.
