Marc Marquez’s injury hell: “A thousand doubts - when ghosts appear…”

Marc Marquez’s perseverance through the agony of surgeries and recoveries is just about rediscovering himself as a motorcycle racer, says Alex Marquez.

Marc’s career was at stake when he went under the knife for the fourth time earlier this year to mend his troublesꦓome right arm, an injury that is in addition to his double-vision problem.

His comeback has been impressive so far and he has spoken boldly about adding to his six MotoGP championships, but♕ according to his younger brother, the true meaning of Marc’s revival is much simpl🔥er.

“He’s a born winner,” Alex said to DAZN. “He has done nothing but raced and won. I don’t think he’s looking for a title, but he wants to find himself and go back to doing what he ওdid before on the bike.

“We saw him overturn situatio🌄ns that, at the time, were thought to be at the limit, until [the injuries] occurred. 

“This was more than a limit, and he had to cross it four times. It was the situation in which he grew the most, th𓂃e one in which he learned the most, and which will make him eve🤪n stronger in the future.

“When everything goes well, things aren’t taken into consideration. The exceptional thing becomes normal and, when something like this happens to you, with four surgeries, everyday life and the simplest things acquire🙈 more value. This means that, on the circuit and outside, life has more gusto.”

Marquez must overcome the limitations of his Repsol Honda bike next season, as well as his physical issues, if he is to challenge for a seventh MotoGP championship (the same tally that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi accrued).

But he must do it without his brother in the same team - Alex will be in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up for Gresini Ducati, a notable move because it potentially opens up a future exit for Marc, to⭕o.

But, e✅arlier this yearಞ when Marc needed surgery again, he had agonising conversations with his brother about quitting altogether.

“He knows that when I’m serious, I 🍬really am,” Alex sa꧒id. 

“There were a thousand doubts, and I said to him: ‘Okay, what if you don꧙’t? Can you compete? No. Well, there’s your answer. Try, then you’ll know if you can compete agaiജn, but you can’t do it like this’.

“He had never talked to me openly about retirement. That day,💯 he talked abo🌼ut it. 

“Hꦫe never thought about what heܫ would do after motorcycling, but he wanted to stay tied to this world, helping young people as he has already done. But I told him: ‘Don’t be silly. In four days, you’ll be back on the bike’.

“Super Marc doesn’t🍷 exist. He’s also human. His big rescues, the fact that he falls and, two minutes later, he’s in the garage - that’s not normal. There comes a time when you push hard, and you don’t have luck on your side. That is where you suffer. But he’s an exceptional rider who does wonde🅰rful things.”

Marc’s chief technician, Santi Hernández, added: “His fourth operation w🍨as his last chance, and it was all or nothing. 

“He didn’t know if it would be the last one, if he could fix his injury, or if they were going to tell him: ‘There’s not൲hing that can ไbe done,  you have to retire’.  

“It was the decisive moment of his career, of a ♏bad period. When ghosts appear, you think of many things.”

His mechanic Javier Ortiz said: “It was three years of ‘no, yes, no’. Now, things seem to b🌸e a little better. Now, it seems that things are a bit like they were before.

“It was also difficult for us because we saw him suffer. He wanted to be there but couldn’t because of his arm. He could’ve isolated himself during his recovery, but he 💖never stopped being who he was.”
