Mir: “After a year without racing, I would surely be doing worse than Márquez”

Márquez reappeared at the Portuguese Grand Prix , the third round of the season, after having been out for the entire previous year as a result of the crash suffered at the first stop on the 2020 calendar, in Jerez .

The seventh place that the Catalan achieved precisely in Portimao , the weekend of his return, is the best result achieved to date. In Jerez, the second event in which he participated, the rider from Cervera (Lleida) finished ninth, while in neither of the following two, Le Mans and Mugello , was he able to cross the finish line in ninth when he crashed.

Precisely in Italy, last weekend, the #93 acknowledged feeling “stuck” in the recovery process of his right shoulder, the area that is conditioning him the most on the bike. “You have to understand what is happening with your arm, and whether or not I am going to continue taking antibiotics, which is also affecting me,” added the multiple world champion, who has even considered getting off the bike temporarily to focus on his recovery, something that at the moment rules out.

This weekend, the World Cup lands on the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit, a track with most of the curves to the right, the ones that most expose the current weaknesses of the Spanish. “In Montmeló we will be able to compete more”, he agreed when leaving Mugello, where he hardly wore himself out when he went to the ground at the first change (second lap), after a contact with Brad Binder .

About the trajectory that Márquez has followed since he returned to running, Joan Mir , the current champion, was asked, who valued the difficulty of the challenge that his rival is facing.

“Marc is having a hard time. This is not the same championship as there was before; there is a lot of equality and I don’t know if he is 100%”, reflected the man from Suzuki , referring to the tremendous equality that is reflected in each test session, in which just half a second separates the ten fastest on average.

“Anyway, if I hadn’t run for a year, I would surely be doing worse than him,” the Balearic runner clinched.
