Marc Márquez: This is how the doctors convinced him to delay his return to MotoGP

Marc Márquez has decided not to be in the first two races of the season in Qatar. The Spanish pilot does not want to take any kind of risk. After what happened in Jerez last year, at the Andalusian GP, the man from ilerdense and his team have learned their lesson and do not want to stumble twice on the same stone. Wanting to return as soon as possible, the injury worsened and he suffered an ordeal for almost eight months. He had to undergo surgery twice more, the first time to fix the titanium plate that had been damaged and the second for a pseudoarthrosis. In total, he has needed three operations for this injury that caused him to miss a whole year. Finally, the third time was the charm, and after changing the medical team, at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid they hit the button and Márquez finally began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eight months later he got back on board. a Honda. It was in Montmeló, on March 16, when Marc put his suit back on and felt the adrenaline rush of riding a MotoGP circuit again. There the countdown to his return began. Everything indicated that he could be in the first race of the year, that was the wish of the Cervera rider. However, after consulting with the doctors, they convinced him that it was best not to take risks and postpone his return, so this time he has chosen to be cautious and not rush his return to the slopes. He has just come out of a serious injury, he has been inactive for a long time, not competing, and for that reason the doctors have recommended that he continue practicing alone and on April 12 he will undergo a new review to see the evolution and determine if he is ready to race in the Portuguese GP.Márquez parks the braveryMarc Márquez has always stood out for being a brave rider, for making impossible overtaking, always going to the limit … It is in his DNA, which has led him to be one of the best riders in the history of motorcycling than at 28 years is one title away from matching Valentino Rossi. But now is not the time for courage but for prudence. He is not yet ready to compete again, he has only been trying out a MotoGP for a week and the doctors have considered that it was premature to race in Qatar. The Repsol Honda rider had already made it clear after a first error that he would not force his lap until he had the approval of the doctors, who have seen fit that he was not in Qatar. The Spaniard has learned his lesson and does not want Jerez’s mistake to be repeated, he prefers to miss a few races now and return to one hundred percent rather than returning to eighty percent, injuring himself again and running the risk of missing another whole season.
