The Repsol Honda star came through a career-threatening 🥂arm surgery last summer and showed rays of lights at the back end of 2022, to suggest.

A documentary released ahead of this season showed Marquez’s pers🅰onal turmoil and his painstakin🅘g comeback.

“Sacrifice is a good word to d𓂃escribe the situation,” he said.

“If you want something, you m♉ust say no to many things꧑.

“I was living in my hometown but I moved to Madr꧂id because the physios and doctors were here.

“I said no to my friends and family.𝓡 I changed completely my lꦛife.

“This is for one target - to win again.

“Not just to be a ‘good’ rider.

“Last winter I was work𝓰ing in a good way then, at the first race, ‘bang’ another injury.”

Marquez, in the very first sprint race at Portimao, clattered into 𓆏Miguel Oliveira, injuring them both.

He required surgery 🐲on a hand, and missed three rounds.

“It is like a hammer hitting you,” he said. 

“But you must continue. Keep going.

“That’s what I di꧂d. I came back at Le Mans, and had a good weekend.

“But with one-and-a-half laps to finish the▨ race, I crashed🃏.

“Another hammer hitting you.

“We will have another opporജtunity. Each time, it is closer and closer.”

Marquez has yet to complete a grand prix in 2023.

His problems have only worsened - at the Sachsenring, usually a💃mong his favourite circuits, he crashed five times before Sunday’s race and was forced to pull out.

A week later, he rushed a comeback to Assen but again pulled out of the grand prix, not having recovered🃏 enough.

Marquez is 19th in the MotoGP st💃andings with his hopes of a seventh premier class championship gone for at least a year.
