In our last MotoGP podcast, Uri Puigdemont and Germán Garcia Casanova valued the aftertaste of improvisation left by the first edition of the Indonesian Grand Prix held at the new Mandalika circuit, on the Indonesian island of Lombok. That weekend ended with a new injury to Marc Márquez , the eight-time world champion relapsed into his eye problems as a result of a strong blow to the head after falling in the warm up, which prevented him from competing in the race.
Shortly after, it was learned that Márquez is suffering from a new episode of diplopia (double vision) that keeps him on indefinite leave and will not allow him to compete next weekend in Argentina, a situation that has triggered all kinds of comments and speculations about the way to face the great prizes by Marc.
There have been not a few who pontificate about the future of the runner, not only among fans and haters ambushed on social networks, some voices of a certain weight have come to put on the table the need for Márquez to stop, stop falling and look more for your health than for your benefits as a pilot.
Personal arguments that have served as fuel for a heated debate between our MotoGP analysts around the figure of Marc, from the current post-injury, and the one from before, the one who seemed not to see the danger. Should Marc be more conservative in this part of his career? Should it remain the same as always? Should I rethink the future…?
Fortunately, the medical check-up to which the Honda rider underwent this Monday has yielded an optimistic and positive result, the recovery process is on the right track and we could see, very soon, the Catalan giving gas, dispelling the most ominous forecasts .
Alberto Puig ‘s response, through Motorsport.com , to Michelin , after the exchange of blows between both parties as a result of the tire swap introduced by the French manufacturer in Indonesia, has further fueled the debate between Uri and Germán in our MotoGP podcast, serving as a ‘hot’ appetizer prior to a weekend that is once again exciting in Termas de Río Hondo , where the World Championship has not traveled since 2019 and which will surely bring more than one surprise.
