Marc Márquez returns to ground zero | MotoGP Spain

This weekend the MotoGP GP of Spain is held in Jerez, where Marc Márquez suffered that serious fall that has kept him out of the World Championship for nine months. 287 days after that accident he returns to ground zero. There began an ordeal that has lasted nine months. He underwent surgery three times until, finally, on April 18, he was able to get back on a Honda and compete in a Grand Prix. Portimao will remain forever in his memory after a hard year marked by the pandemic and the most serious injury of his career. Supported by his team, his friends and his family he managed to get ahead to win the longest race of his life and compete again. The inactivity caused him to be cautious throughout the test. He did not want to force his arm and his only goal was to complete 25 laps. And he succeeded, the worst is over. The ilerdense solved his return with a note and showed that if he is well and his arm allows it, he can fight for victory. That is his goal for Jerez. He wants to get rid of the thorn that got stuck in him last year when he was starring in a great comeback and crashed at Turn 3. He suffered a fracture in the humerus in his right arm that kept him away from the circuits for a long time. He tried to return a week later but could not make a return. From there it was a martyrdom. He decided to go for it all. Unlimited. It looked like he was in a video game. He was worth nothing other than the podium. He could have scored a legendary comeback, but he got a cross. You have to applaud him.

I have the fall present and tattooed on my arm, but I hope to find that feeling again this weekend, “he adds. Without getting on a motorcycle from Portugal, Marc returns with renewed energy after having rested these last two weeks after the Portuguese GP, and with wanting to keep improving and trying to feel better and better on the bike. The eight-time world champion acknowledges that he has complied with the doctors’ instructions to the letter and has not got on a motorcycle since leaving Portimao. “We are back in racing after a productive week. I have continued to work on my recovery program to make sure my physical condition continues to improve and following the doctors advice, I have not gotten on a motorcycle since Portugal. Of course I’m excited to get back on the bike! We approach Jerez in the same way as Portimao; we are here to keep improving, step by step, and do the best job we can. My recovery continues and the important thing is that we continue to improve our consistency, “he said in statements published by the Repsol Honda team before the race.Nine months and 11 days after his fall, he will get back on the RC213V in search of continuing to gain sensations and complete a new race. The most important thing for the Cervera rider in this test is not to achieve victory but to cross the checkered flag and remove the thorn from what happened last year in Jerez.
