An expected comment after he showed himself on the web by returning to motocross and riding a CBR600 at high speed on a turnstile. So many signs announcing the return of Marc Marquez as strong as before? He would have liked...
Marc Marquez frankly took stock of his state of form before the Grand Prix of Styria of this weekend. The eight-time World Champion thus admitted that he was still not in full possession of his means and that although things were going in the right direction, he was still disappointed that he was still forced to endure.
The official Honda says thus: “ one of the best things about summer vacation is that I'm definitely back to my 'normal life', that is, training on motorcycles combined with gym, cycling and all those things ". But he also specifies: “ I haven't really done motocross yet, only on flat ground, without big jumps, besides the CBR600. I would have liked to train more, but I also tried to manage the pain in my arm ».
Marc Marquez: “ the muscles must adapt, and especially the shoulder, which is still irritated »
From there, the pilot's speech 28 years becomes less enthusiastic: “ It wasn't bad after the holidays and I expected it to be a big step. But when I started putting weight on my arm again, I felt some pain. I tried to control her. It's more muscle pain. The doctors had already told me that this arm had to adapt to what I needed first, and that meant what I needed on the bike. It's one thing to work out at the gym, but it's another to sit on a motorcycle ».
« The muscles I used before are different now and need to adapt. This arm has been opened in three different places. The muscles must adapt, especially the shoulder, which is still irritated. It's under control now, before this Styrian Grand Prix I can say that I feel very good. We'll see after. I think on Friday I will feel very good. But then I have to understand what it looks like on Saturday, Sunday and for the second Austrian Grand Prix. But that's normal. I had another check-up, everything is fine, the bone is still not 100%, but on the right track »
He ends with his situation in MotoGP : " I feel like it's boring when I repeat it. But this is my real situation, which I must face in the best possible way. It's a long process ».
