The rider confirms his return this weekend 110 days after his last race and after meeting the most optimistic deadlines for his recovery
When the first free practice sessions of the MotoGP Grand Prix of Aragon begin this Friday, around 9.55am on the Spanish peninsula, the World Championship for motorcycling and sport in general will have Marc Márquez back on the case. The Repsol Honda team announced its return to competition on Tuesday at 2 p.m. and at the same time the rider from Cervera left his first comments on his social networks: «After consultation with the doctors and with my team, we decided that the best for my recovery is to continue on the bike and rack up miles for next year. It’s priceless to do it at the Aragon GP, for all the fans. And I’m sure all your support will help me get through the whole weekend. I wish it was Friday to sit on the bike and hit the gas.
Thus ends a long journey that began on May 28, when Márquez announced his intention to travel to the United States on the Mugello circuit for the fourth time to undergo surgery on his right humerus. It wasn’t going to be another intervention, it was the final one. So the continuity or not of Cervera’s genius depended on what happened in that operating room in Rochester, Minnesota. The operation was a success and the rehabilitation, although conservative, has met the most optimistic deadlines. Nearly four months later, Marc Márquez is getting back on his Honda to compete in a MotoGP Grand Prix.
After being practically unemployed for the first two months, he began active rehabilitation in August, gradually intensifying his training, and at the end of the month he got on a street bike for the first time, right on the MotorLand track. Aragon, to check his physical condition. He was already present in Misano last week, in two days of testing with the MotoGP Honda. He completed a total of 100 laps with better than expected sensations, giving reason to believe that his return was closer than expected.
And now it’s official. Marquez will return to action this weekend after missing a total of six races. The goal, his team reports, is to “assess performance over the intensity of a Grand Prix weekend”, although we won’t know the pilot’s true intentions until he gets on his Honda for the first time. His return is also a boost for the Aragon Grand Prix, which has maintained a fairly slow pace in ticket sales to date and expects a stampede in the coming days. And it is also for a championship, which needs the backlash that has been lost in recent times, and which takes its measure like the water from the sky that falls in Spain today.
