Marc Marquez is therefore recovering from a fourth operation in two years on his right humerus, and to hear him and to listen to the confidences of those close to him and those coming from the family circle, there will be no next one. Success must therefore be at the end of the road or the career of the eight-time World Champion will remain there. He will then have to live with this situation for the rest of his life. An outcome that we obviously do not wish for him and the latest communications that he himself made about his convalescence suggest that, this time, success will be at the end of the road. His manager Emilio Alzamora talks about it…
Emilio Alzamora knows the brothers Marquez since they were children. The former 125 World Champion, who has the historical distinction of having been crowned at the end of a campaign without the slightest victory, is therefore more than a manager for this golden family. So much so that when he speaks on his subject, we listen to him.
And this is the kind of communication that is traditionally quite rare, but it is clear that since Marc Marquez had an operation in the United States, and he came back satisfied for the moment, the law of silence which was required after these last three surgeries no longer applies. The sign, no doubt, that things are going better, but also the revelation that whatever the outcome, it will be definitive.
In an intervention read on Motoracing, Emilio Alzamora makes no prediction on the champion's return to MotoGP: the last word belongs to the doctors. Honda awaits his champion Marc Marquez after the summer break. Initially he will make his presence felt in the stands, to follow the evolution of the RC213V, then it will be time to return as a rider in the MotoGP championship. His comments are eagerly awaited by HRC engineers who have lost their way, in the words of brother Alex who is so desperate that he has chosen to relaunch his career on a Ducati Gresini. After this fourth surgical intervention on the right humerus, the physical rehabilitation period continues with indoor training, but the arm will remain immobilized for several days. While waiting for the next checks in mid-July which will decide on the continuation of the recovery.
Emilio Alzamora: “ Marc Marquez surprised us with his mental strength and his confidence to be able to get out of this situation«

On his return to the track, he will have to deal not only with the mental after-effects of a driver who has been stationary for a long time, a scenario that the retiree promises him Sete Gibernau, but also with a motorcycle which suffers from numerous technical problems. Japanese engineers and his team, led by Santi Hernandez, work hard to find him the best possible package. In recent weeks the main focus has been on the frame with the aim of improving front end feel. alzamora makes no prediction about the return of Marc Marquez, the decision will be entirely up to the doctors who follow him with an assessment every two weeks. “ When Marc is confident enough to be able to ride the Honda, a very demanding bike, it will be time to come back... Marc surprised us with his mental strength and his confidence to be able to get out of this situation " finished Emilio Alzamora.
