Marquez withdrew from the German MotoGP after a fifth fall of the weekend in the warm-up, breaking a finger and shining a light on the extent of his struggles w🙈ith his Honda.

The Repsol Honda rider has not completed a grand prix this ꦛseason yet, has missed three rounds due to a previous injury, and is se🐻t to feature at next weekend’s Dutch MotoGP under a dark cloud.

"The Honda has really become a bike, it was already🌄 critical a couple of years ago, but it has become a more critical bik𝕴e,” Marquez’s ex-teammate and three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo told . 

“A bike that throws൲ the r﷽iders basically or makes it so that the riders can't save most of the falls.

"I think that not even Marc in his worst nightmares imagined 🌺a 🌊weekend like this, with five crashes, so many bad feelings. 

“You have to remember that 🍰in bad years, when Marc came to a circuit like Austin or Sachsenring he always gave something more and got victories.

“But꧑ this year, from the beginning, he had tremendous difficulties. Some tremendous sไcares. 

“And on top of tha🍌t, it has gotten worse over the weeken൲d. It has gotten worse and worse.

“And it really has been one of the worst weekends that Marc has ever had💎. And it's a weekend that hurts 🌌a lot. 

“He's ♛sad, he looks sad. You can see him answering the questions without really wanting to answer. 

“And realꦜly psychologically it will be a litmus test for Marc.

“I think it is a moment that Marc has never experienced. ඣHe has experienced delicate moments in the last two or three years with the issue of the arm on a physical level. 

“But now it comes together that he is experiencing many falls and physical consequꦫences.

"In general, he is🔯 physically fine. He has returned to good health, but he finds himself with the most delicate Honda inꦐ recent times and further away from the rivals.

“I think that things from Germany to the Netherlands will not change much physically, it will surely improve a bit because thꦗe body will reduce inflammation from the various blows it has accumulated this weekend.

"But he won't get much better at Assen. But he's going༺ to have a few days to reflect, think... 

“And get to a new circuit thaꩵt m🧜ight make him feel better.

"Because in the end a lot of bad feelings have been accumulatin🎐g in three days. And that together has caused him to say that it's not worth it.”

Lorenzo himself became well-known for ridi🎶ng with injuries, notably in Le Mans in 2008 when 💯he arrived with two broken ankles.

“In motorcycling, sometimes you get on and do 🌳heroics. I arrived at Le Mans and I finished second, I couldn't wa🎃lk. I was on crutches.

"Then in Mugello I fell again and in Montmeló on Friday also doing a lot♛ of flip🧜s and blows to the head. In fact, I didn't remember anything.

“And then the fact of retiring comes to mind a lot, you think it's not worth continuing in this sport.&🐼nbsp;

“But then when you let the days go by, you cool down a bit, y🎐ou see things in a different perspective.

"You see it with more optimism.”

Lorenzo returned from his own tumultuous period a🌃t the 🎃2008 British MotoGP but remembers being cautious.

"I went with a lot of concern. I got a 🔯little afraid of the bike. 

“But little by little I was building confidence with the bi🉐ke tha🍌t I had lost.

"I don't know if Marc is in the same situation, in the 🅘same situation of saying: 'Be careful, if I continue at this rate of hard fa🌼lls I can really hurt myself again'.”
