MotoGP, Puig: “Marc Marquez needs to take it step by step”

After the Italian GP Marc Marquez had to get off his bike once again in an attempt to resolve, once and for all, the problems he’s been having with his arm since injuring it at the Spanish GP in 2020. Hence, the eight-time champion flew to the Mayo Clinic, in the US, to undergo a fourth surgery on his right humerus.

He is now back in Spain to start with his rehabilitation, with HRC team manager Alberto Puig having this to say to motogp.com: "The operation went well, doctor Sanchez Sotelo was very happy and Marc is already back in Spain. He will start slowly with his recovery, following the doctor’s recommendations. We’re very pleased that he’s already home and can start focusing on his recovery.”

Marquez: “It’s nice when you can come home quickly from hospital”


The whole paddock was thinking of him as he left the paddock to have this latest operation, with many riders sending him messages with their best wishes.

Marquez wants to get back to winning ways again after his rehabilitation and Puig also hopes to see Marquez back in the garage and, above all, on the highest step of the podium again: "The doctor has said that Marc needs to take things step by step, with regular check-ups with Dr. Samuel Antuña in Spain. Both the medical teams are working in close contact, and this is very important. We’ll evaluate the situation every two to three weeks more or less. The priority now is that the bone heals in order to avoid any significant complications".

And avoid the same mistake they made in the past, or rather returning to the track too son. The rider and team will now take things easy. We don’t know when we’ll see #93 back on his Honda, but we hope it’s soon.
