LLEIDA, 25 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish MotoGP rider Álex Márquez (Honda) assured that his brother Marc (Repsol Honda Team) is at home resting from the diplopia (double vision) that he suffers from a fall training in motocross and that he is focused on the next World Championship in 2022 and to be able to return as soon as possible, although he acknowledged that he must have “patience.”
“Marc is trying to disconnect from the world, but in Jerez he called me constantly to find out how the new bike (the Honda of 2022) was doing. He is focused on next year, on coming back as soon as possible, but you have to be patient and wait” , he assured at a press conference from the Rufea circuit (Lleida), where he presented the sixth Allianz Junior Motor Camp.
The brother of the eight-time world champion reiterated that it will be around Christmas time when “more or less” it will be known where Marc’s injury is going, a diplopia that he already suffered in 2011 and that, then, made him lose the title. This time, he has missed for the moment the last two appointments of a 2021 World Cup that he was no longer opting for. “We will have to be patient and be by his side,” reiterated the youngest of the brothers.
But neither Marc nor Álex nor anyone from the team can put a figure on their return. “I am not a doctor or an eye specialist. But seeing that this injury was already suffered in 2011, it is not a bone or something that you know exactly the term. It is a nerve, it is vision, something more complicated and you have to be patient. at times. It is something very annoying to have diplopia and to be like that, but it is positive and resting, “he argued.
“Marc is at home, but he has already sent me fifty messages about how he is doing and how the children are. He is at home, resting and taking care of my dogs, which is something. He can’t wait to be here but now he needs patience and rest and little by little he will recover “, he contributed in reference to the campus that both brothers organize together with Allianz and that this time has only the presence of Alex, although Marc will try to visit the 20 participants.
