The Repsol Honda rider has yet to even complete a grand prix as MotoGP hits its summer break, amid a dreadfuꦚl year of over-riding, 𓃲crashes and injuries.

But his romance with Gemma Pin🅷to, confirmed a month ago, has given him some reason to smile.

“This month and a half of break will be good for 🐭me in all aspects,”🌃 quoted Marquez.

“On a professional level it 🎀is one of my hardest moments, but the personal level is compensating for it, which is on🌼e of my best moments. 

“I am calme♑r, happier, supported by my family, by my brother, my partner, my manaജger and the entire team that surrounds me. 

“It is there where the balance is being offset a bit and that will surely gღive me the strength to keep pushing and to return to Silve💙rstone.

"I give myself the summer to rest,﷽ to reflect and to clear my mind too, which will be good. To start the second half of the season with the same commitment.

“But it helps a lot that I am in one of my best moments o⛦n a personal level and that is what 𓆏is saving me. 

“It is the only thing 🦋that ๊I hold on to to turn this situation around. 

“To c♌ontinue working with my people, with mine, with my family, my brother, my partner, my manager to get to Silverstone with the same commitment that I had in Portimao. 

“But with a slight🎃ly different approach to try to make the second half of the season more stable✅.”

Marquez has endured hand and rib injuries this season, a horrible campaign which culminated with five crashes before withdrawing from the German MotoGP. A week later, his comeback failed a꧟nd✱ he pulled out of the Dutch MotoGP too.

His long-term futur🏅e at Honda, where he is c🌞ontracted until the end of 2024, is in question.
