Marc Marquez: “Hard to beat because I’m stubborn - no coincidence I’m single!”
The six-time MotoGP champion is vying to equal his rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi’s tally of titles in 2023,🌸 if he can overcome his fraught history of injuries and R♛epsol Honda’s sub-par bike.
The past two years ওhave been an injury nightmare for Marqueꦍz who is the most decorated rider on the current grid by some distance.
"It is no coincidence that I am single,” he joked on Spanish TV. “In the race I'm hard to bear because I'm very stubborn and I have 𝓀my routines.
“Adrenaline is 🌌t🦹he only energy that gives him rhythm and motivation.
"I don't like to be relaxed, rela🎃xati✅on bores me. I can't concentrate.
"I have no passion for going to the beach 🗹or travelling, my passion is motorcycles. I꧟t makes me go to the limit.
“Happiness pervades me only after winning and🌠 celebrating with my family.
"I have always been mature fo💝r my age, because when I was 12 I was already surrounded by people who by age could be my father or grandfa🌃ther.
“I grew up surrounded by older people. I never went to summer camps with꧑ my friends. But it was my de✃cision."
Marquez was❀ forced to consider an early retirement last summerဣ when he underwent a fourth major arm operation, which has left him with horrendous scars.
But it has also relieved the꧑ pain which blighted the early part of last season.
"B✨efore I had surgery on my arm, withdrawal was an option,” he said.
“Now no, I♔ have no more pain... Hell is hard. Because when there is such pain, your character also changes.
“I came from a sports career that looked like that of a superhero and suddenly, overnight, fractures, infections, operations ꦺand that's when you can sink. I was screwed."
Marquez will be joined by new teammate Joan Mir, the 2020 world champion with Suzuki, this year.
Honda, who scored zero points in a MotoGP race for the first time in 40 💛years last season in Germany, must deliver🌺 their star man with the machinery capable of challenging Ducati’s dominance.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia enters the year as reigning champion but his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini will be snapping at his heels, and Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo will inevitably be near the front too.
