The revelation was told in his Amazon Prime Video documentary ‘Marc Marquez: All In’ where h🦋is struggles with injury, his career-saving operation and his recovery are shown in harrowing detail.

At the height of Marquez’s fitness difficulties last year, before he stepped away from MotoGP to go under the knife, he en⛎dured a painful incident at home.

“It was Monꦑday at 7.30am,” he said. “Every day, I walked the dogs on an empty stomach for 45 minutes.

“I pried open a sliding door - I felt a crack and said ‘damn’. I looked at it, and it had a bump. I said: ‘What ꦛis going on?’

“I woke up [my physio༺ Carlos J. Garcia] and my brother. That’s when I started getting dizzy. I lay down on the bed and he said ‘let me see’.

“I said: ‘I doubt I broke the metal implant’.

“He grabbed my bone and it went ‘crack’. He went pale and said: ꦡ‘Let’s go’. We went straight to hospital.”

A fourth operation on hꦍis devastated arm relieved the pain that Marquez raced with in the opening part of last season.

He has also struggled with diplopia - an eye issue causing double-vision - during his two-year injury nightmare꧋.

The Repsol H๊onda rider described: “Diplopia is specifically.. Well, in this case I’d see a head here. And aꦛnother head here. It isn’t like ‘which eye isn’t working?’ No.

“If I covered one eye, I could see perfectly. But when both eyes were open there was slight deviation. I do🍸n’t know, one degree. One degree far away keeps getting worse.”

Ma🅘rquez is hoping the worst of his physical traumas are behind him and, if ꦚHonda can deliver a bike better than last season’s sub-par machine, he will fight for a seventh premier class title.
