Mugello.- In this way, it is most likely that the Honda rider will miss the rest of the season, given that the estimated recovery time for an operation of this caliber is around five months.
Marc Márquez broke his arm in the first Grand Prix of 2020, in Jerez, while making a spectacular comeback from last place. In that spectacular fall the right humerus was broken.
After a first intervention, in which the fracture was fixed with a square, the Spaniard tried to reappear four days after the operation, again in Jerez , in an attempt that aborted after getting on the bike on Saturday.
The following week, the runner from Cervera (Lleida) announced that the titanium plate that had been inserted had broken as a result of the stress suffered. That anticipated two other surgeries, which led him to stay nine months off.
Since he returned to racing, in the third round of 2021 (Portugal), the aftermath of the injury has not allowed him to drive at his own pace, a feeling supported by his results: currently, Márquez occupies tenth position in the general table, with 48 points less than the leader, Fabio Quartararo, and without yet having been on the podium so far this season.
Motorsport.com interprets that the main limitation that drags the #93 is given to it because, due to the successive operations carried out in the area, the upper part of the arm rotated progressively, making it difficult for it to execute the natural movement that a MotoGP prototype requires. Such a circumstance makes life very difficult for him on the tracks that mostly turn in that direction. Between that and the renewal that Honda has made to its prototype for this 2022, the multi-champion has come to the conclusion that it is more worth saying goodbye to the current course, and trying to heal that transcendental part of his body, than to continue running , knowing that in no case will he be able to fight for the World Cup.
“I have realized that I am not here to fight for the title,” he said at Le Mans two weeks ago.
