Marc Marquez’s adm💎ission that his “mental health” would have suffered by staying at Honda h🐠as been discussed.

Marquez’s years of injury, crashes and misery on an underperfor🅰mi🐈ng bike ended this year by a switch to Gresini Ducati.

He has immediately returned to the podium and fighting for race wins, and is considering a titl🃏e challenger by most within the p✱addock.

Marquez had previously revealed a conversation with Honda:﷽ 🅠;“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 reacted to that remar🗹k on TNT Sports: “After two events, he said ‘I love it, I enjoy, I’m back, I want a factory ride’.

“The rebirth of M🌠arquez? It does look 🐷like it’s happening.

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

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

“The motivation, you can see it in his eyes, the d🙈ifference from last y𝔍ear to this year.

“As 🐼a rider, it’s knowing that you’re going to be in the mix - you’ve got the weapon, t🐼he package, the team behind you.

“You can fight for the podium or the win.

“It tra𒊎nsforms your whole life because, as a rider, you live it and br🐲eathe it.

“When you wake up in the morning yඣou are th⛄inking about your next race.

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

“Obsessed with your performance and winning.

“It’s such a great feeling, that once you’ve tasted it, you want it again and again and agai🧸n.

“So, when you wake up knowing deep-down that you ca🅠n’t win?

“No matter how much you train, how many ri💃sks you take, how many crashes, how many bones to break…

“If ꦦyou know that you can’t achieve it, it is depressin༒g.

“That’s what Marc was talking about.

“He w𓆉as talking about mental health and not feeling well.

“Now, he’s𝄹 fine. You can see it in his attitude and in his interview, and the way he goes arou❀nd the paddock.

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