Marc Marquez after “mental health” comment: “The spark is back”
“The rebirth of Marquez? It d♔oes look like ꧙it’s happening."

Marc🌄 Marquez’s admission that his “mental health” would have suffered by staying at Honda has been discussed.
Marquez’s years of injury, crashes and misery on an und꧙erperforming bike ended this year by a switch to Gresini Ducati.
He has immediately returned to the podium and fighting for race win♉s, and is considering a title challenger by most within the paddock.
Marquez had previou♛sly revealed a conversation with Honda: “I said to them ‘maybe I will do one more year here then finish my career because my mental health would be finished’.”
Suzi Perry 𓆏reacted to that remark on TNT Sports: “After two events, he said ‘I love it, I enjoy, I’m back, I want a factory ride’.
ꩵ“The rebirth o♉f Marquez? It does look like it’s happening.
“If you look beyond the crashes, you can see that putting him on a factory bike with the support network,✱ you’re looking at another world championship.”
Sylvain Guintoli replied: “Yes. He’s back.
“The motivation, you can see it in his eyes, the 🌞difference from l🤪ast year to this year.
“As a rider, it’s knowing tha🌄t you’re going to be in the mix - you’ve got tওhe weapon, the package, the team behind you.
“You can fight for the podium or the win.
“It transforms your whole life becauseﷺ, as a rider, you live it an🅷d breathe it.
“When you wake up in the morning you are thinking about your n🅷ext race.
“It’s difficult to explain to people who don’t do it, because you areꦇ literally obsessed.
“Obsessed with your performance and winning.
“It’s such a great feeling, that once you’ve tasted it, you want it again and again and a🤪gain.
“So, when you wake༺ up knowing deep-down 🤡that you can’t win?
“No༺ matter how much you train, how many risks you take, how many crashes🍌, how many bones to break…
“I♏f you know that you can’t achieve it, it is depressing.
“That’s what Marc was talking about.
“He was talking about mental healꦕth and not feeling welꦆl.
“Now, he’sꩵ fine. You can see it in his attitude and in his interview, and the way he goes around the paddock.
“The spark is back and it’s great to see.”
