“The priority this year is to be physically fit, at 100×100, and I’m going to put myself in the hands of the best for that,” says the Honda leader, who is in no hurry to compete
The Catalan driver Marc Márquez (Honda), eight times motorcycling world champion and even injury Jerez from two years ago great dominator of the MotoGP World Championship, it’s back. After announcing last Thursday that the Doctor Sanchez Dalmau had given him permission to get on a motorcycle again after overcoming, with time and patience, without repeating the very delicate operation he underwent in 2011, the diplopia he suffered in his left eye, the champion of Cervera (Lleida) has recognized today, in the ‘on line’ presentation of the team Honda de MotoGP, made up of himself, his brother Alex, Pol Espargaró Y Taka Nakagami, who is happy “very happy”, although he still has a long road”and delicate” to go to “know that I am fully recovered & rdquor ;.
The path is none other than “knowing that I can get on a motorcycle that is as similar as possible to a MotoGP, go at more than 300 kilometers per hour on a World Championship circuit, resist a lot of laps and verify that, in effect, as I assures Dr. Sánchez Dalmau, I have fully recovered my vision and I am ready to, little by little, return to competition”. MM93 assured in his appearance before the specialized World Cup press that “the absolute priority this season is to take care of my body, improve my right arm if possible, which is better than in 2021, and, above all, take care of my physique, surrounding myself of the best specialists. If I am physically at 100×100, which is my intention, I will be able to ride as I want.”
a lot of tranquility
Márquez acknowledged being happy “very happy & rdquor ;. Also that he feels “relieved, but still with the tension lived and suffered these last three months to know if time, as we decided with the doctor, was going to heal this new injury & rdquor ;. The Cervera rider insisted that he is not going to rush his return, despite the fact that the first pre-season training sessions are in Sepang (Malaysia), during the first week of February. “We are not going to change our plans despite the good news that Sánchez Dalmau gave me last Monday and how much I enjoyed the motocross training I did at the Ponts track. We will go step by step & rdquor ;.
“When the doctor told me ‘you can try to get on a motorcycle’, I did not hesitate to choose, again, the Honda for motocross, for enduro, because it was the one with which I suffered the fall that caused this injury and, therefore, I wanted to put myself to the test in those same conditions, which are, as is known from the type of specialty, extreme: jumps, sharp turns, flights, peripheral vision…and the truth is that I enjoyed myself and had a great time. It was good, yes. Now we are trying to organize with Honda and the team a test on a World Championship track that could be Montemló, Cheste, Jerez or Portimao, with a fat, big bike, the closest thing in terms of power and performance to our World Cup bike. I have to test myself at 300 km/h., forcing, folding as much as possible and doing many laps. There I will know how I am & rdquor ;.
The physical, the first

Márquez recalled that vision, the eyes, are vital for everything. “You see or you don’t see, there is no more and, therefore, the first thing is to heal from the injury. And, yes, of course, when I had an accident months ago and immediately visited Dr. Sánchez Dalmau, we put all the possibilities on the table: surgery, patience and even not being able to run again. We decided to be patient, give ourselves a period of time for the diplopia to heal itself and it has worked for us, so we are very happy with the decision made.”
The leader of the Repsol Honda team, who, of course, was welcomed by all the journalists and, of course, congratulated by his brother, who has experienced this new ordeal with him, ‘Polyccio’ and ‘Taka’, recognized that the improvement occurred “above all” during the last two weeks. “And, I insist, from now on, to confirm that my eyesight is fine on a powerful motorcycle and to improve my physical condition with a special training plan that we are programming with Dr. Samuel Antuña (not one of the surgeons who operated on him, for the third time, the right arm) and my physio. I want my body to the fullest, at 100×100. That is the goal for this year. At the moment & rdquor ;.
