“They have reached a point where the injury is hampering him,” Guintoli, the Suzuk🐻i test rider, said on BT Sport.
“He isn’t comfortable on the bik♏e. He is suffering, he can see that it isn’t getting better. It is getting worse.
“The surgeons are telling: ‘I🎀t won’t be easy but we can make it bette🗹r’.
“The nightmare is not finished.
“Marc is a winner. He doesn’t go out to finish 5th ဣor to climb onto ♛the podium in the best case scenario.
“He wants to be fighting for the championship. He wants to be winnin﷽g races - that’s his mentalit🐎y.
“The question now is: when will he be back? He doesn’t kno🌃w himself.”
‘Honda believe’ in Marquez’s ability to reclaim MotoGP glory

“Most people would say ‘yes it is brave to take a time-out mid-season career-wise’ but Ma൩rc is safe in the knowledge that Honda believe in him,” BT pundit Michael Laverty added🌳.
“He has a long-term co🦄ntract so they will give him the ability to recover to be the Marquez of 2019.
“He knows what he can do when he is fully fit - he believes that, if he was fully fit, he’d be putting that bike oಌn the podium for 🅺race wins.
“He’s a racer. He has developed the ability to deliver eve✱ry weekend.
“Even though he is having reasonable results - 5th or 6th which is good for the majority in the paddock - 𝓀it ไisn’t good enough for Marc.
“It doesn’t feed the fire that he needs.”
S🌳ix-time MotoGP world champion Marquez has been plagued by in🦋jury since missing the end of the 2019 season.
He said after qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello: “I realised this season that I don’t enjoy [riding now]. I’m just suffering a lot. A lot of pain. I don’t have power. I cannot ride like I want. I also start to injure the left shoulder because I’m pushing to𒐪o much with the left arm.
"My performance is not bad, but it's not the one t💞hat I want. So together with the doctors we've been evaluating for a long time - even in October, when I had the first injury with my vision, I said to them ‘why we don't consider to make something in that arm?’. But the bone was not fixed completely then and they said the risk is too big.
"Then I come back. I work a lot during these four months. But I don't see any🔥 improvement.”
