Marc Marquez’s admission that his “mental health” would have suffered by st♎aying at Honda has been discussed.

Marquez’s years of injury, ⛦crashes and misery on an underperforming bike ended this year by a switch to Gr🀅esini Ducati.

He has immediately returned to the podium and fighting for race wins, and is considering a title c♏hallenger by most within the paddock.

Marquez had previously revealed a♛ conversation with Ho🐻nda: “I said to them ‘maybe I will do one more year here then finish my career because my mental health would be finished’.”

Suzi Perry react𝐆ed to that remark on TNT Sports: “After two events, he said ‘I love it, I enjoyཧ, I’m back, I want a factory ride’.

“The rebirth of෴ Marquez? It does lꩵook like it’s happening.

“If you look beyond the crashes, you can see that putting him on a facto🌺ry bike with the support netwoꦕrk, you’re looking at another world championship.”

Sylvain Guintoli replied: “Yes. He’s back.

“The motivation, you can se𒉰e it in his eyes, the difference from last year to this year.

“As a rider, it’s knowing that you’re going to be in the mix - you’ve got the weapon, the p🧜ackage, 💛the team behind you.

“You can fight for the podium or the win.

“It transforms you☂r💫 whole life because, as a rider, you live it and breathe it.

“When you wake up in the morning you are thinking abꦛout your next race.

“It’s difficult to explain to peopleꩵ who don’🌳t do it, because you are literally obsessed.

“Obsessed with your performance and winning.

“It’s such a great feeling, that o🧜nce you’ve tasted it, you want it again and again and again.

“So, when you wake up knowing🙈 d♍eep-down that you can’t win?

“No matter🐻 how much you train, how many risks you take, how many crashes, how🐈 many bones to break…

“If you know that you can’t achieve it, it is deprꦑessing.

“That’s what Marc was talking about.

“🐲He was talking about mental health 🍰and not feeling well.

“Now, he’s fine. You can see it in his attitude and in his inte🎃rview, and the way he goes around the paddock.

“The spark is back and it’s great to see.”
