The advice that today’s Marc Marquez would give to 2013’s Marc Marquez
This year Marquez must battle the performance of his own Repsol Honda bike, plus his recovery from a career-threatening arm surgery, to challenge for a seventh MotoGP championship which would draw him level with his rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi.
Many fans would consider Marquez to be the sport’s king if he overcomes his staggering injury issues to c𒈔lamber back to the top of the MotoGP mountain.
Yet, there are things he wis🌞hes he had done 𒆙differently.
"It would be two moments,” he admitted to .
“Oꩵne, the year 2013, and I would say: 'Really ♎enjoy what comes to you'.”
Marquez, as the reigning Moto2 champion, stepped into the premier class and immediately became the champion in 2013. He was only the fourth rider to win in three categories, and was the youngest-ever MotoGP 🎶champion, at 20 years and 63 days.
“It's not th𝄹at I haven't enjoyed it, but I would tell him not to normalise it, that winning is not always normal,” Marquez said.
He also regrets a more recent moment and wishes he could advise a younger version of🙈 himself.
“The other moment would be when I got injured in Jerez, and I would say: 'Wait tw🌠o months at home, you're going to lose two months, but not two years.'”
The notorious crash in 2020 broke Marqﷺuez’s humerus, and contributed to his diplo𓆉pia issues.
He unsuccessfully tried to return very soon after surgery to fix his arm, and admits that decision was a major setback in his overall recovery. 2021 and 2022, although they featured occasional hi𝓀ghs, were largely lost to i♋njury.
In 2023 he intends for that to be different.
"My intention is to win and that's what ไI'm preparing for: to win."
