Marc Marquez must be experiencing a heavy dose of déjà vu. The Repsol Honda rider has been here twice before. Following a season-ending crash in 2020, Marquez worked his way back to health, riding a Honda CBR600RR and an RC213V-S before jumping back on his MotoGP machine. He went through the same process prior to the 2022 season, after reaggravating his diplopia (double vision) at the end of 2021.
This time around, a crash didn’t lead to the six-time MotoGP champion’s health woes. Instead, he opted to undergo one additional, potentially career-saving surgery on the same right arm he injured in 2020. The rehabilitative process has been anything but speedy. Nearly three months after the operation, doctors cleared Marquez to train on a motorcycle again.
