Marc Marquez reveals fascinating “risk measuring” exercise: “Marc, be careful…”

The Repsol Honda’s stunn🦩ingly brave riding style has been the h𝄹allmark 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 have𝔍 resulted in career-threatening injuries.
"One of the mental ꩲexercises I do when I go to train is to measure risk,” Marquez told .
“The guy who accompanies me always has to saꦬy: 'Marc, be careful here', or 'Marc, watch out there'.
“It's something I've൲ worked hard at for the last few years, ꩲbecause 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 crash😼 which broke Marquez’s humerus bone is where๊ his serious injury problems began.

He rushed back quickly, just days after the operation, but quickly realised it was overly ambitious. Now, Marquez realises this was the kind of ဣrisk-taking he shou🅰ld steer clear of.
Mid-way through 2022 he underwent a fou🦩rth arm operation and, as the 2023 ♌season nears, the ceiling of his ability is one of the main talking points.
"Mental scars in the sens🐽e 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 whic💙h I have gone fas🍷t and I have been the one who has fallen the most times, because I wanted to get where the bike did not reach.
“I will always take that risk, because the day I stop doing it I will start to slow down and th𝄹en it will be time to go home."
