The set-up of the driver from Cervera (Lleida) after his reappearance in Portimao is taking more time than even he had calculated. The right arm that was broken in July 2020 when it fell at the first stop on the calendar, and which later underwent three operations, is progressing well but slowly, at least in the perception of #93 .
Márquez cannot move as he would like on the bike, and if the lack of running is added to that, the result is that the Catalan has to face the weekends of the Grand Prix by dosing himself, so as not to collapse before time.
“My arm is there. I have shoulder discomfort. It is improving, but I haven’t noticed much difference compared to Jerez. I am impatient and tell the doctor that I want to improve more. And he tells me to stop for a month, just train my arm and that I’ll be better, ”says the multi-champion ironically, who, in any case, is taking small steps. The next one, the one that he agreed on Wednesday of last week with the doctor, which will allow him to introduce a day of motorcycle training between grand prix.
“The bone consolidation is going well, and that allowed me to increase the intensity of work in the gym these last few days. But I still see that there is a lot of difference between the two arms, and that is surely why the sensations on the bike are what they are, ”said the Catalan, who is going through a difficult period, like the company he works for, on Thursday.
Since being dropped, Honda has lost its way. And his current precarious physical state prevents him from being able to do much in the short term. Just like your humerus, the recovery of the golden wing mark also requires patience.
“Honda is working hard, and they bring a lot of things. But everything becomes more difficult if there is no fast driver in front. We are coming back from a very difficult year, with a rookie (Alex Márquez) and Cal Crutchlow, who was not at his best. Now we are getting back on track, but it takes time,” added Márquez.
“I always try to be honest, and now my comments are not accurate, because my driving changes throughout the weekend due to exhaustion,” warned the Spaniard from Le Mans, where he will surely have to face a rainy weekend. : “On the one hand I would like to ride dry, to continue with the rehabilitation. My limit now is physical, and the rain may make it a little less so. But, then, my position on the bike will also be affected”.
