WE FOLLOWED
DOCTORS’
ADVICE, TIME TO
FOCUS ON 100%
Marc Marquez explains why he will likely sit
out the remainder of the 2020 MotoGP season
as he continues his recovery from injury
Marc Marquez has given
more details into his decision
to focus on returning
to full fitness after Honda
confirmed he is set to miss the next
two to three months recovering from
his injury.
The Spaniard has been out of
action since the second round of
the 2020 MotoGP World Championship
season when he attempted to
compete just days after undergoing
surgery on the arm he fractured
during the closing stages of the Jerez

POL TARRÉS

most recent announcement.
Speaking in an interview with
Spanish broadcaster DAZN, Marquez
says he followed the advice available
to him when he returned to action
so soon after surgery, but the latest
complication ultimately sets him
back to the extent he will cede his
World Championship title.
“It’s hard to watch MotoGP from
the sofa and I would like to be there,
but in the career of athletes we take
a lot of risk and it’s normal,” he said.
“It is my eighth season in MotoGP,
taking risks to achieve goals and
unfortunately this strange season
has been difficult for me because of
the injury.
“The first time I am following what
the doctors said to me and gave me
the confidence to ride the bike, do
some gym because the plate was
strong enough, so I did what they
recommended.
“Now I will do the same, I will
follow their recommendation and
they say it is much better to stay
calm, pass this month, fix well. It is
the right arm and I struggled in the
winter with the shoulder, so now it is
time to put everything in the correct
way and come back 100%.”
