In June 2020 Marquez produced 🐼one of 🦹the greatest in-race comebacks after saving a near-crash whilst leading the Jerez MotoGP.

After dropping out of the points, Marquez picked off rider after rider before coming up behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales.

Set to claim second place away from the Yamaha rider and attempt to chase down 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo for an unlikely victory, Marquez then suffer🍌ed a crash𓆉 that has led to him never being the same.

But despite breaking his right shoulder which has led to four separate operations, the last of which came after the 2022 Italian MotoGP at Mugello - Marquez has al⛦so missed time due to a recurring diplopia (double vision) problem - the eight-time world champ🐲ion has remained a consistent threat as was highlighted by his three wins in 2021.

Marquez was also close to winning the Australian Grand ▨Prix just a few months ago, as he looked close to his best for the first time in three seasons.

Although Marquez has continued to ride in the same manner, something he claims won’t change going 🐟forward, his mentality regarding injuries and his future is beginning to change.

Speaking on the latest episode of Behind ไthe Dream, Marquez said: "The fear about your future, for example the situation I had two years ago with the injury, two years ago I didn’t feel it. I said ‘I’m here, my body is for riding a bike’. 

"Of course, the risk I take on the track will alwꦦays be the same because it’s my mentality and I cannot ride in another way. But the way I 🥀approach the injuries, my future, is changing.

"It’s not the same mentality, not only for me, but it’s not the same mentality wh༺en you are 30 years old and when you’re 20. 

"The most important thing is that everybody in the team accepts that we are i♏n a very difficult moment. 

"As soon as you accept then it’s time to work. It’s time to understand how is the way🌺 or the best way to improve for the future." 

Marquez also identified the people closest to him as ‘the mos♕t important’ when it comes to opening up about his tough periods.

"The people around me are the most important," said the H💃onda rider. "I’m a person that can feel really strong - yes I can be strong depending on the situation but I need to have the people that if for some reason I have some doubts then I need to share everything whether it❀’s good news or bad news. 

"It’s impossible to keep ꦡeverything for yourself. You need to speak with somebody𝓡 if you want to approach the problems."
