“This♋ month and a half of break will be good for me in all aspects,” quoted Marquez.

“On a professio꧒nal level it is one of my hardest moments, but the personal level is compensating for it, which is one of my best mom🙈ents. 

“I am calmer, happier, supported by my family, by my brother, my partner, ✱my manager and the entire team that surrounds me.

“It is there where the ba🌄lance is being offset a bit and that will sur෴ely give me the strength to keep pushing and to return to Silverstone.

"I give myself the summer to rest, to reflect and to clear my minꦇd too, which will be𓆉 good. To start the second half of the season with the same commitment.

“But it helps a lot that I am in one of my best moments on a personal level and that is what is๊ saving me. 

“It is the only thing that I hold on to to turn this situa🅺tion around.ꦺ 

“To continue working with my people, with mine, with my family, my brother, my partner, my manager to get 📖to Silverstone with the same commitment that I had in Portimao. 

“But with a slightly different approach to try to make the second half of the♏ season more stable.”

Marquez has endured hand and rib injuries this season, a horrible ca🥀mpaign which culminated with 💯five crashes before withdrawing from the German MotoGP. A week later, his comeback failed and he pulled out of the Dutch MotoGP too.

His long-term future at Honda, where he is contracted🐟 until the end of 2024, is in question.
