Despite struggling for wins 🐻in the previous three MotoGP campaigns, Honda began the season looking to fight for the world title as Marquez returned to full fitness.

But th𒈔e Spaniard𒐪 has, from a performance point of view, endured one of his most difficult starts to a MotoGP season.

• Bagnaia: “Morbideꩲlli could be very competitive on a Ducati,꧃ deserves more” 
• ‘Free agent’ Morbidelli: No seat for n💙ext season, Rins ‘a great ride♓r’

The eiܫght-time world champion has produced great qualifying results at times, while also being competitive in races.

However, crashes as a result ღof needing to push too close to the limit have resu🗹lted in more injuries for the Spaniard.

Ma꧃rquez, who pulled out of both the German and Dutch Grand Prix, said this ahead of Silverstone: "In Assen after the sprint, I decided to stop and the doctors told me. I have had time to rebuild during the summer. 

"The right ankle and the r🥂ight leg are still not working as I want. Here in Silverstone, we will try for rhythm.

In terms of their approach to the first half of the year, Marquez was quick to p♏oint out the issues.

"Honda is working 𒅌hard," began Marquez. "They tested with Bradl in Jerez. At the moment, the Japanese decided that I will start with the same bike as Assen. 

"Then there will be a small upgra🔯de - a part of that will be a small aero package that, at the moment, I will not homologate♐. I decided for technical reasons. We have a lot of work to do.

"In the summer break I had time to think about it. My conclusion is: our approach𝐆 in the first half of the season was not the correct one. 

"We approached to try and win races, to fight for the title. But we were not ready. We need to work together to be ready in the 🧜future. 

"This second part of the season, I will approach in ꧂another way. I will try 𒅌to be more realistic. We will work together to improve the project."
