Six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Márquez has had a rough time for the past couple of years. Once considered well-nigh unstoppable, the undeniably talented racer has been on a run of serious bad medical luck since breaking his right arm in July, 2020. Since that time, he’s had multiple surgeries, been diagnosed with diplopia twice (that’s double vision, and undoubtedly a major liability on track), and has tried to continue racing through it all.
Having a strong will is one thing, but the physical limitations imposed by his previous injuries have kept Márquez from reaching his goals. That’s why Márquez and his medical team arranged for a fourth surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to try to further address some of the physical limitations he’s been having.
