• Chronicle.The best and worst day of Marc Márquez: historical comeback and serious fall

" Marc Márquez has suffered a direct trauma to his right arm that has caused a complete fracture of the humerus and possible paralysis of the radial nerve, although the latter has yet to settle."

At the door of the Jerez Circuit Medical Center, the diagnosis of Dr. Xavier Mir, the traumatologist who already operated on both shoulders, blurred everything that had happened on the asphalt and focused attention on the future: perhaps Márquez lost the World Cup yesterday MotoGP, right at the start, right in the first race. With an operation already scheduled for today at the Quirón clinic in Barcelona, ​​his participation in the next races is now uncertain, although Repsol Honda sources already assumed that he will not race next Sunday, again in Jerez. On the state of his humerus in August, when the championship will travel to Brno and Spielberg twice, his options will depend on a seventh title in the category, although late on Sunday several indications were against him.

First of all, the very nature of this championship. With just 12 runs, two zeros in his locker will complicate his comeback, but three or four would make it impossible. Second, the maturity of its rivals. With his first victory, Fabio Quartararo showed that he is more stable and his companions on the podium, Maverick Viñales like Andrea Dovizioso, promised regularity. Third, the reality of his injury. "It is a rare fracture, perhaps the result of the impact with the tire," said Dr. Mir, and that adjective, "rare", caused fright in the garage in Márquez. And fourth, the state of the radial nerve. The traumatologist assured that until the inflammation subsides, he will not be able to know if it is affected and if it is, the recovery times will be greatly lengthened.

In any case, Márquez's streak of success is at risk for a brave, risky, reckless action, that is, his own action, one of the many that have defined and will define his prodigious career.
