Marc Marquez’s admission that hi🌸s “mental health” would have suffered by staying at Honda has been discussed.

Marquez’s years of injury, crashes and misery on an underperforming bike ended this year by a sw𒁏itch to Gresini Ducati.

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

Marquez had previously revealed a conversation with Honda:🌱 “I said to them ‘maybe I will do one more year he🤡re then finish my career because my mental health would be finished’.”

Suzi Perry reacted to that remark on TNT Spo🌟rts: “After two events, he said ‘I love it, I enjoy, I’m back, I want a factory ride’.

“The rebirth of Marquez? It𝔉 does look like🙈 it’s happening.

“If you look beyond the crashes, you can see🦹 that putting him on a factory bike with the support network, you’re l✨ooking at another world championship.”

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

“The motivation, you can see it in his eyes, the difference from l🧸ast 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 package, the team b🐬ehind you.

“You can fight for the podium or the win.

“It tr💮ansforms your whole life because, as a rider, you live it and breathe it.

“When you wake up in the morning you are thinki﷽ng about your next race.

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

“Obsessed with your performance and winning.

“It’s such a great feelin💎g, that once y🤡ou’ve tasted it, you want it again and again and again.

“So, when🐓 yo🧸u wake up knowing deep-down that you can’t win?

“No matter how mu📖ch you train, how many risks you take, how many crashes, how many bones t♏o break…

“If you kno𝓰w that you can’t achieve it, it is depressing﷽.

“That’s what Marc was talking about.

“He was t💖alking about mental health an♒d not feeling well.

“Now, he’s fine. You can see it in his attitude and in his interview, ♉and the 🌄way he goes around the paddock.

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