The Repsol Honda’s stunningly brave riding st𓆏y꧟le has been the hallmark of his decorated career.

Although he credits that mind-set for his six MotoGP championships, the same exuberance has also caused the heavy crashes which hav♔e resulted in career-th🌄reatening injuries.

"One of the mental 🌱exercises I do𝓡 when I go to train is to measure risk,” Marquez told . 

“𒁃Theꦓ guy who accompanies me always has to say: 'Marc, be careful here', or 'Marc, watch out there'. 

“It's som⛄ething I've worked hard at for the last few years, because it's hard for me to see the risk, and that's sometimes a strong point and sometimes a weak point."

The notorious Jerez 2020 cr⛦ash which broke Marquez’s humerus bone is where his serious injꦐury problems began.

He rushed back quickl🤡y, just days after the operation, but quic💖kly realised it was overly ambitious. Now, Marquez realises this was the kind of risk-taking he should steer clear of.

Mid♕-way through 2022 he underwent a fourth arm operation and, as the 2023 season nears, the ceiling of his ability is one of the mไain talking points.

"Mental scars in the s𝔉ense of braking, have not🧸 left,” he said. 

“I have learned that I do not have to risk in the way of facing a 🎃recovery, but I will🍬 continue to risk the same on the track. 

“It has been seen in my last five races, in which I have gone fast and I have been the one who has fal⛄len the most times, because I wanted to get where the bike did not reach. 

“I will always take that risk, because the day Iღ stop doing it I will ꧅start to slow down and then it will be time to go home."
