Marc Marquez is not in a phase of rest and recovery, but of reconstruction since a ceasefire was declared following the heavy shooting experienced over two weekends in Jerez. The Honda official is working to recover the strength and sensations in his right arm, whose humerus was broken after a violent fall suffered during the first race of the season. An event that he hosted until then by making a comeback that will be remembered. Hostilities will resume this weekend in Brno, and it will perhaps still be without him. Because since Monday, he has gone back under the knife…
Impossible is not Marc Marquez. A few days after having had surgery on his right humerus, the eight-time World Champion got back on his Honda to try to honor with his presence the Andalusian Grand Prix. But the effort required of the body was too great. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to regain his abilities. The challenge is to launch into the title race after a retirement and a withdrawal.

However, the Spaniard does not want to give up the fight to win the title: “ lThe priority is to preserve my health, but I still believe in the possibility of winning the title. We still have several races available and everything is still open. I never give up, it's not in my characteristics and I will do it as long as possible » he concluded. In this context, Marc Marquez undoubtedly happily learned the addition of a European Grand Prix on the calendar. Which gives him one more opportunity to rebuild himself. But with this new operation, this plus has perhaps become a minus…
