“It doesn’t feed the fire that he needs.”

Six-time MotoGP world champion Marquez has been plagued by injury since missing thꦰe end of the 2019 season.

He said after qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello: “I realised this season that I don’t enjoy [riding now]. I’m just suffering a lot. A lot of pain. I don’t have power. I cannot ride like I want. I also start🐷 to injure t๊he left shoulder because I’m pushing too much with the left arm.

"My performance is not bad, but it's not the one that I want. So together with the doctors we've been evaluating for a long time - even in October, when I had the first injury with my vision, I said to them♔ ‘why we don't consider to make something in thaꦕt arm?’. But the bone was not fixed completely then and they said the risk is too big. 

"Then I come back. I work a lot during 𝔍these four months. But I don't see any improvement.”
