Marc Márquez does not know the desired winter break. His situation even has an air of déjà vu since he recently had surgery on his right shoulder. However, a year ago, he had to undergo surgery on his left shoulder. An embarrassment which, however, did not prevent him from achieving success at the end of a 2019 season which he himself describes as one of the best of his career. A good sign for 2020? Everything will depend on the opponents. One, in particular, was identified by the Honda official: Fabio Quartararo…
Marc Márquez gave a long interview to the monthly magazine of the RACC, a brand which has helped him since his beginnings as a pilot and which continues to place him among one of its sponsored pilots. Enough to indulge in the confidence, starting with this one: “ the adrenaline of competition is my energy. I race to win and show people, my people, a good time. This motivates me to participate in every race on Sunday He says.
The eight-time world champion reveals when he felt he could make a living from motorcycling. “ I thought about it when I won the 125cc championship or after the Portuguese Grand Prix of the same year with the victory when I started from last position. During these weeks I realized that I could dedicate myself to this professionally and reach MotoGP He recalls.
For the best moments of his life as a professional pilot, he favors two which are also a family joy: “ choosing a moment, and only one, is very difficult, because living so intensely every year, it is impossible. Now, 2014 and this year in Malaysia were two very happy moments, because my brother and I won the world championship in our categories. »
Marc gives the key to going from being a fast driver to being a winner. “ Thinking about what I could have done better, and if I could go back, sure, maybe I could rectify some aspects of the 2015 season, where I crashed in quite a few races. Also, in some falls I suffered, I would have been more careful not to hurt myself. But in the end, I have my driving style. And I take risks. For me, a good rider must be fast, and who wants to be champion, also, must know how to think when he rides the bike. »
Finally, he finishes on his rivals… “ Fabio Quartararo will be my next big rival. By the way, he also had help from the RACC » recalls the Honda official who will team up with his brother álex in 2020 within the Repsol team Honda.
