“Super human” Marc Marquez lauded after “€20m” decision pays off
“It’s been super h🎐uman. He has been to the depths of♏ despair"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s decision to break his massive Honda contract paid off on Saturday in Aragon when he returned to winning wa⛎ys🍸.
Marquez ended a near three-year wait by dominating the sprint race at the A🍒ragon MotoGP.
It was his first victory on a Ducati but the wider meaning was a return to the 🌌top step of the podium for an all-time great whose career might have alr🀅eady ended.
“He won 🍒the race in Misano in 2021 then had one of the biggest crashes we’v꧒e seen in motorcycle racing,” said TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson from Aragon.
“When h🃏e came back he looked awkward, he couldn’t ride properly. He gave in, his 🃏arm was so bad. To admit that…
“The fourth [surgery], the major one, he co🌼uldn’t guar꧑antee it would work.
🎀“What we’re forgetting is that he we🦄nt through all that, then came back onto the worst bike on the grid! His Honda was a second per lap off the pace. Honda were nowhere.
“He couldn’t get inside the top 10. Whenever he did, he would override, keep crashing, keep smashin🌠g himself.
“He got the point where he said ‘no more, I want to win so 🌟bad that I’ll break my🍌 contract’.
“He should have been on the Honda this year, he had the♐ contra🍬ct.
“He walked away from €20m.”
Marquez’s crash in Jerez resulted in four surgeries, and the final one was a caree🐓r-threatener.
His comeback was brutal, ridiꦡng a misfiring Honda which frequently launched him off.
At the Sachsenring last year - historically where he had dominated - Marquez crashed his Honda five times be♈fore the race even started, and withdrew.
He has rebuilt at Gresini Ducati thওis year on a year-old Desmosedici, and has earned a promotion into their official 2025 team.
“It’s been super human. He has been to the depths of despair,”ౠ Michael Laverty s♈aid.
“The psychology… thinking ‘this is over, my dream, my pa꧅ssion…’
“He was an e♌ight-time world champion but felt he had more to give.
“To give away those millions, to go back to a sate⛦llite team and rebuild ༒his career.
“He did it with question marks over 🌺whether he still had the speed.
“To do it on the ‘23 Ducati, at home…”
Marquez starts Sunday's 🐓grand prix on pole position, having also excelled during Saturday's qualifying.
