Marc Marquez is still not at his best. He recognizes it himself and he seems to have difficulty handling this situation on the track. Because we cannot, considering the level of MotoGP competition, combine both the need to do laps to regain our sensations and improve our condition, and the fact of seeking performances that we are no longer able to achieve. capable of producing alone, but which we still hope to stick to the fastest drivers. A dilemma that calls into question security. But the medical side is also worried. Like Doctor Costa who focused on a revelation made in a statement by the eight-time World Champion.
Marc Marquez is he at a crossroads? According to Doctor Costa, we would be there. We must remember that the man, now retired, is the father of the mobile clinic and that he notably experienced the case of Mick doohan . The Australian, then at the height of his glory, had to throw in the towel after a serious leg injury from which he ultimately never recovered sufficiently to continue his career.
Marc Marquez: the mention on antibiotics calls out
A memory that worries Doctor Costa who thus confided in Moto.it : " When I learned that Marc Marquez was returning after his long and incredible racing recovery, I was overwhelmed with happiness. For what ? because I love this fantastic and unique pilot. Driven by enthusiasm, I even predicted the podium right away ».
Then he adds: “ This didn't happen and I became sad. Afterwards, I learned that the pilot was taking antibiotics. This is a worry: the infection is not deactivated in any way. Also concerned about a bone infection near a plate and screw. It’s a terrible state.”
He finishes : "what if it doesn't heal with the plate and external fixators? This is Doohan's story. I love this pilot and I hope that the clinical outcome after Barcelona will be good ».
We will recall that Marc Marquez had mentioned at Mugello an intention to make pause in this season, which his doctors have also advised him not to do. At the house of Honda, during the Italian Grand Prix, the team director Alberto puig had indicated that its rider could stop at any time if he did not feel good on the bike. Finally, in Tuscany, Marc Marquez was in various incidents on the track, all revolving around the fact that he wanted to follow a fast driver very closely to set a time that he is no longer able to produce alone.
