Marc Marquez is not yet impatient, since the experience he has had has convinced him never to rush things again in the event of an injury, but all the same, he is chomping at the bit. The eight-time World Champion who will still have to wait to be as titled as Valentino Rossi once again made his presence felt on the canvas to show that he was indeed in the middle of a period of no longer simple convalescence, but of getting back up to speed. to get back on the Honda…

And as such, it would be a good idea to play the episode of the return of the captain in a period where the Tokyo manufacturer has announced its withdrawal from Formula 1, while the investor Repsol would have a desire to stop the adventure started with Honda 25 years ago. Marc Marquez, who signed until 2024 to be on an RC213V he would not want to find an empty box on his return…

So he shows that he is coming back from what is perhaps the most serious injury of his career. We saw him running, cycling and here he is now with expert hands placed on his bruised limb: “ one day more, one day less » comments the man from Cervera... It will be recalled that the attempt to speed up recovery times proved unsuccessful. Since then, the pilot, in agreement with Honda, has done what is necessary to recover 100%. His return to the track is approaching, even if there is no official date.

On this subject, we are talking about a hypothetical return to Aragon, where MotoGP will contest two Grands Prix. One on October 18 and the other on the 25. There is also the idea of Valencia, another location for a double meeting, on November 8th and 15th. It is difficult to make predictions now, we will have to see how the physical condition of Marquez will evolve. Honda will likely provide some updates next weekend, when the World Championship lands at Mans for the French Grand Prix 2020.

My approach will be the same: I will go on the attack. When I come back, I have to be in good physical condition, the arm will have to be at 80 or 90% to try to be fast from the start ».

Marquez then continued: “ I feel good morally and physically, I could be back tomorrow, but it won't be like that. But sooner or later it will happen. Watching the races from home creates anxiety, anger, but it's what I have to do. Seeing that the opponents score so few points makes you want to come back ».

Finally, the Spaniard spoke about his brother who is currently doing his apprenticeship in MotoGP with a Honda which he does not yet seem to have digested: “ I hope he ends up fighting with me, but he won't beat me. But if one day I have to be beaten by someone, I hope that someone is my brother ».
