• Report. Three operations, shock waves, US specialists: Marc Márquez's ordeal and an uncertain future

"The return was hasty. The plate broke when opening a sliding door in the garden of my house, but it did not break there, it did because of all the stress that was generated in Jerez. It was a mistake. What have I learned? We riders have a virtue and a flaw: we don't see the risk. That means they have to make us see fear. Now I know that I have to insist much more. After the first operation I asked: 'When can I get on the bike? "And there the doctor has to know how to stop you, be realistic. I went to Jerez with the peace of mind that everything was fine, because he told me so, because I am brave, but I am not unconscious. If he tells me that the plate can break, I don't ride a motorcycle in Jerez at 300 km / h. ".

Before his third operation on the right humerus,

Marc Márquez

gave an interview to one of his sponsors, the DAZN platform, and pointed out the culprit of his situation: Dr.

Xavier Mir.

The one who had been his trusted surgeon, the one who had healed him on other occasions at the Dexeus Hospital in Barcelona, ​​this time took responsibility for his hasty return to the track and, consequently, for the prolongation of his leave.

The six-time MotoGP champion demonstrated the reasons that led him to visit specialists in Austria and the United States and to finally undergo surgery at the Ruber Hospital in Madrid.

"In the second operation they had to put a bone graft and that was where there is a risk that he will not accept it or accept it little by little. And that is what is delaying everything," he analyzed when asked about the delay in his recovery before knowing the medical examination revealed this Friday.

According to a statement from the Repsol Honda team, Márquez suffered from an infection in the fracture and this impaired the solidification of the bone.

"The postoperative clinical situation of Marc Márquez has been considered satisfactory by the medical team of the Ruber Hospital in Madrid. However, the cultures obtained during the pseudoarthrosis surgery have confirmed that there was a previous infection, which will cause Márquez to undergo treatment specific antibiotic in the coming weeks, "the brief announced.

The text did not reveal whether the infection will affect the recovery period from the injury, although, given the precedents, it is unlikely that neither Márquez, nor his surroundings, nor the Repsol Honda team will set a return date.

Of course, the pilot is clear that when he returns he will do it 100%.

"I have never been worried about coming back and not being the same. That is why I am waiting to be completely cured, because when I return I want to be the same, not be conditioned by the arm. I will have to be ready and with my body prepared to take the same risks, it is my DNA, which I have led to achieve what I have achieved, "he declared on DAZN.
