— Crash MotoGP (@crash_motogp)
Marquez missed six races in the middle of the 2022 MotoGP ༺season to undergo a fourth major arm surgery, the most serioಞus yet, which threatened his career.
It has left him with horrific scar൩s all over his righ♊t arm.
The operation was need🦂ed to rotate his bone by 30 degrees, to fix ongoing issues causedꦫ by crashing on track.
The six-time MotoGP champion returned at the back end of last year, somehow scoring a pole position and a podium finish when the expectation was that ꦐhe was still regaining fitness.
Despite a sub-par R𒈔epsol Honda bike which Marquez has demanded mus💞t improve for 2023, he is ramping up his physical output in preparation for the new season.
His new photos show Marquez in the gym undergoing a gruelliꩲng training regime to rehabilitate his🏅 arm.
He has previously said: “I don’t know what my 100% is oꦛn 𒈔my right arm. Of course, it won’t be like my left arm. It is an arm that they have opened up four times!
“I ha🍨veꦇ had four different surgeries so it isn’t a normal arm.
“This winter, I need to understand wha𝓡t thℱe maximum for that arm is.
“I believe, still, that I can grow a lot.”
