Marquez responded by promising that the latest operation to improve mobility ♊in his right arm, the fourth surgery on the beleaguered bone si💖nce July 2020, will be the last.

Speaking to DAZN, ⛄Marque🍸z said: "My grandfather told me: 'leave it now, you have enough to live on, what you've done is done, leave it'.

“I promised my grandfather: 'It's the last chance for the a𝕴rm'. I told him that if this one doesn't... there are no more places [on the arm] left to open.”

ꦑFortunately, Marquez is already noticing an improvement 🐬following June’s bone alignment operation in the USA.

“[When] they took the sling of𓃲f, I started to move my arm, I could pick up a glass normally and I could 🐠eat a piece of meat without lifting my elbow,” said the 29-year-old.

“Now I eat like a 🍸normal person, it's just little things. I haven't lifted my arm 90-degrees for a year. I've been on a high for two weeks now, but there💯 will be lows, it happens.”

Earlier this week, Marquez was given the green light to intensify training and asseཧss the condition of 𝄹his arm on a motorcycle.

Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig is hoping Marquez will be fit to complete🧜 at least some MotoGP laps at the Misano test on September 6-7, to help advise on ꧙bike development for ✨2023.
