How awful to hear that a prospective Marc Marz athlete is struggling with a spinner code injury.
Last weekend in Jerez, the Gresini rider won his first-ever Ducati pole and was leading the sprint race until he went out.
He fought his way back from an early fourth-place finish in the 25-lap grand prix to challenge the factory Ducati of reigning double world champion Francesco Bagnaia for the win.
After suffering a severe break to his right arm in Jerez in 2020, the eight-time world champion was quite happy with his final placing of second.
In the midst of what he called his “nightmare,” which included four surgeries and numerous physical setbacks, Honda’s form significantly declined, prompting him to drop out and join Gresini Ducati this year.
“My nightmare began four years ago,” he said. From After the Flag on motogp.com.
And it was really difficult. However, I pray and hope that my second life begins today.
“Yes, it was a nightmare, and yes, we still don’t move past that awful experience.
But we do have encouraging and wonderful news gradually.
“I would like to express my gratitude to everyone in my immediate vicinity, especially those who have shown me a lot of support. I also want to express my gratitude to Honda for honoring my decision and to Gresini and Ducati for allowing me to ride this year on their behalf.
“I’m content and having fun. I’m quick when I’m happy.
Speaking on his performance, Marquez said that although his tumble from the top of the Americas Grand Prix lead and the crash in the sprint race were “extremely heavy on the shoulders,” he still believed that Sunday “was the day to be on the podium.”
He remarked, “As you know, the show is there if I’m there.”
We always make an effort. It doesn’t regardless of where we are from, as we are from the bottom.
It’s accurate to claim that the little error occurred during the first five laps of the race.
