Marc Márquez: keys to his 2021 MotoGP season

Marc Márquez is the main favorite for the MotoGP title. However, his presence in the first round of the season, at the Qatar GP, remains unknown. The ilerdense is finalizing his recovery from the injury to the humerus of the right arm. He has a medical discharge but before deciding whether or not he is ready to race in Losail he is doing tests with the Honda, first in Montmeló and in the last days in Portimao. The Spanish rider does not want to return until he is fully recovered and can pilot the RC213V without feeling pain or discomfort in the injured area. Everything indicates that he will be able to be in Qatar in the first race of the year, but both Márquez and his surroundings prefer to be cautious and not give clues until they are one hundred percent sure that he is ready to return without any risk of possible relapse. They don’t want to rush again after what happened last year, once on the track there are several keys to highlight in the face of their fight for the title. The first of all is to know how he will return after the injury. It is the first major injury of his career and we will have to see how he returns, if he continues to drive as aggressive as he has been doing so far, if it affects him mentally … The head will be another fundamental factor for him to win his seventh world championship in the category reign and match Valentino Rossi. Another key will be the bike. Repsol Honda clings to its star to return to the top after one of its worst years in MotoGP. Without Marc Márquez they signed a season to forget despite the attempts of Álex Márquez and Stefan Bradl. This season they have improved the RC213V to return to command in the premier class again. Marc is capable of making the most of the Honda and making the most of everything he has.It does not matter if she is not the fastest on the straight or if she is not the best in the cornering, the eighth world champion always manages to be number one with her. All this will be key so that Márquez can return to the top. Whether or not he is in Qatar, he is still the rival to beat on the track. Joan Mir will try to show that the title won last season was no accident, he wants to beat his compatriot. The season promises to be exciting with the return of the great champion. But to be champion it seems key that he be one hundred percent, mentally strong and above all that the Honda responds as it has during the six titles it has won in MotoGP.
