The advice that today’s Marc Marquez would give to 2013’s Marc Marquez
This year Marquez must battle the performance of his own Repsol Honda bike, plus his recovery from a career-threatening arm surgery, to challenge for a seventh MotoGP championship which would draw him level with his rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi.
Many fans would conside🧜r Marquez to be the sport’s king if he overcomes his staggering injury issওues to clamber back to the top of the MotoGP mountain.
Yet, there are things he wishes he had done 🔯differently.
"It would be two moments,” he admitted to .
“One, the year 201🍷3, and I would say: 'Really enjoy what com💦es to you'.”
Marquez, as the reigning Moto2 champion, stepped into the premier class and immediately became the champion in 2013. He was onlyꦉ the fourth rider to win in three categories, and was the youngest-ever MotoGP champion, at 20 years and 63 days.
“It's not that I haven't enjoyed it, but I would tell him not to normalise it, that winning is not always normal,🌞” Marquez said.
He also regrets a more recent momen🦹t and wishes he could advise a younger version ജof himself.
“The other moment would be when I got injured in Jerez, and I would 🉐say: 'Wait two months at hom🌞e, you're going to lose two months, but not two years.'”
The notorious crash in 2020 broke Marquez’s humerus,♍ and c♏ontributed to his diplopia issues.
He unsuccessfully tried to return very soon after surgery to fix his arm, and admits that dec♊ision was a major setback in his overall recovery. 2021 and 2022, although they featured occasional highs, were largely lost to injury.
In 2023 he intends for that to be different.
"My intention is to ⛦win and that's what I'm preparing for: toಌ win."
