Marc Marquez impressed even more last weekend in a crazy comeback during a Spanish Grand Prix which unfortunately ended badly. A big fall, a good injury, and, at first, the fear of a title already lost. But the operation took place, the humerus received its plate and screws, while the doctors were relieved to see that the radial nerve had nothing. So, a return to Brno on August 7? And why not for this Sunday in Jerez?

The question would make you smile if it was not really studied in Spain. The idea would be to only be there on Sunday to take the start and try to collect a few points... I swear, no madness... Although with him...

But is this even possible? The authority on the subject Xavier Mir explain : " " the operation went well and we got the good news that the radial nerve was not injured, as this nerve is frequently injured in these humerus fractures.

It is necessary to take into account the fact that the operated shoulder was not injured and that this fracture did not affect the radial nerve » adds the same doctor Mir on Trademarks.

Of course, this plan is anything but reasonable. What would happen if he fell again? But Jorge Lorenzo, in its heyday showed that a motorcycle rider pushed all limits. We will see, and already about the medical clearance obtained on Thursday. Or not. alex rins et Cal Crutchlow will also have to go through this. But what is certain is that with this rumor, Marc Marquez maintains pressure on the morale of its rivals…

This season will also be a psychological war. Alberto puig has already opened it by affirming, on the one hand, that without his accident, his pilot would have beaten fabio quartararo before the finish line Jerez. This before supporting the theory that a crowned World Champion facing a Marc Marquez anyone who did not compete in all the races would have legitimacy concerns. Atmosphere…
