Marc Marquez has named and shamed a MotoGP rider who didn’t “support me” with a visit before his career-threatening surgery
Marquez made the accusations about last season’s Repsol Honda teammate in his new Amazon P൩rime Video documentary ‘Marc 🐼Marquez: All In’ where his journey towards surgery and his recovery are filmed in remarkable detail.
He had confirmed ahead of the Italian MotoGP last season that he was stepping away to undergo arm surgery in a desperate bid to prolong his career and 🉐relieve the intense pain caused in a crash two years earlier.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro was one of the few that came to see me,” Marquez says about the Mugello weekend when rivals knew his career was𒐪 dependent on the outcome of the upcoming operation.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo came by, too.
“But,ꦺ for example, my teammate Pol didn’t come to see me and he’s right next to me in the box.
“I mean, you don’t expect ev𓆏eryone to come. I didn’t expeඣct Aleix.
“Did I miss some peo𓄧ple coming by? I don’t know. No.
“I know exactly who’s going to support me and who isn’t. Or who wishes the best for me and who doesn’t. Luckily there aren’t many who wish me꧟ the worst, but I bet there’s someone.”
The documentary producer🐼 noted that 🔯Marquez’s arch-enemy Valentino Rossi did not send a message of well-wishes, and the Honda rider replied: “But I already knew that!”
A touching moment when Aleix Espargaro e📖ntered Marquez’s mo🅺torhome to wish him luck was captured in the documentary.
Espargaro: “I came to give you a hug.”
Marquez: “This sucks but it is what it is, man.”
Espargaro: “I could𒆙 tell you weren’t comfortable.”
Marquez: “I ride in pain all day.”
Espargaro: “Let’s hope we can stop th♏ose f***** Ducatis!”
Marquez: “Your bike is pretty fast as well!”
Marquez got emotional and admitted about Espargaro’s visit: “Thisꦍ, I 🐈really appreciated.”
