The Repsol Honda star came through a career-threatening arm surgery last summer and showed rays of lights at the back end of 2022, to s😼uggest.

A documentary relea🌌sed ahead of this season showed Marquez’s personal turmoil and his painstaking comeback.

“Sacrifice is 🤡a good word to describe the situation,” he said.

“If you want something, you must say no to many 🐬things.

“I was living in my hometown but I moved to Madrid because the phys𝄹ios and doctors were here.

“I said no to my friends and family. I changed completely my li🙈fe.

“This is for one target - to win again.

“Not just to be a ‘good’ rider.

“Last winter I✨ꦇ was working in a good way then, at the first race, ‘bang’ another injury.”

Marquez, in the very first sprint♍ race at Portimao, clattered into Miguel Oliveira, injuring them ꩲboth.

He required surgery on a hand, and misꦕsed three rounds.

“It is like a hammer hitting you,” he said. 

“But you must continue. Keep going.

“That’s wh൩at I did. I came back at Le Mans, and had a good weekend.

“But with one-and-a-half laps to finish the race, I cra😼shed.

“Another hammer hitting you.

“We will have another opportunity. Each time, it is closer and ওcloser.”

Marquez has yet to complete a grand prix in 2023.

His problems have only worsened - at tౠhe Sachsenring, usually among his favourite circuits, he crashed five times before Sunday’s race and was forced to pull out.

A week later, he rushed a comeback to Assen but ag🅘ain pulled out of the grand prix, not having recovered enough.

Marquez is 19th in theꦫ MotoGP standings with his hopes of a seve♏nth premier class championship gone for at least a year.
