Of all the things Marc Marquez said just over a week ago, when he achieved his goal of reclaiming the MotoGP world title, there was one comment that may not have made the headlines, yet probably best summarised what the Spaniard went through during the darkest period of his sporting career.
“The help I received is what allows me to be here now. It wasn’t that I fell to the ground — I was already underground. If you’re on the ground, you can jump back up. But if you’re below that, you need someone to pull you out,” said the Cervera rider, eloquently and with gratitude.
