Marc Marquez: “ surgery is now the best choice for my future«
« During these 4 months, I did everything I could, but I didn't see any improvement, so we reconsidered the situation and the possibility of having a fourth operation. I would have done anything to avoid it, but it is the only way to have a complete recovery » says Marc Marquez. « Everything was complicated after the first intervention, even if a great job was done to aim for the best recovery. When I got back on the bike I felt very limited. I always gave 100%, I never gave up, I followed what the doctors told me, but I don't have enough energy to ride as I would like. I started to create problems with my left shoulder too, obviously my performances did not live up to my expectations."
Alberto puig commented : " We thank Marc for all the efforts made during this period. The bones are ready for a new operation, yesterday we made this decision, Mar will stop after the Mugello GP and will undergo a new operation in America. Marc's last operation on his right humerus dates back 18 months. From then on, a very long rehabilitation process, with the entire medical team in Madrid, long and intense work. There has been some pretty significant progress but the situation on the bike is not what he would like to match his expectations during the race weekend "
Marc Marquez continues: “ after the operation, everything will be done step by step. It's going to be long but it's necessary. Now I'm not having fun anymore, every weekend is a nightmare, I can't go on like this. What I can do now is prepare myself as best as possible for 2023" Yesterday I received the call between the two free tests, after the 3D printing made by the Madrid clinic which showed the level of rotation of the humerus of the right shoulder. I won a few races in 2021, that's why I tried this year, but there is still a large rotation of the humerus, intervention is necessary. I don't know how long it will take to get back to 100%, but I know it's the right thing, there is too much rotation in the right shoulder. »
And he ends: “ It's a difficult time, if I hadn't been mentally strong I would have given up."
