It has been quite a while since fans heard from Marc Marquez as the Repsol Honda racer was admitted in the hospital for a few days. The news about his corrective spine surgery was revealed a month ago as the Spaniard decided to go for it in hopes of getting better after the elbow fracture that he had endured two years ago. Ever since his accident, Marc Marquez had taken several breaks from racing to recuperate and get back to his previous form, but the six-time MotoGP World Champion knew that was not possible.
Finally, last month, Marquez went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, USA, to get himself an elective spine surgery. Marc Marquez had joined the 2022 season of MotoGP after a long hiatus which he had taken for his health purposes. But just as he was improving on his form to get closer to the podium, he had to take another break from MotoGP for the spine surgery. After the surgery was successful, Marc Marquez’s Repsol Honda Team Manager Alberto Puig announced the news of his well-being for his countless fans all around the world. And now, Marcquez himself has issued a statement to address those who have wished him well.
Marc Marquez shares a message for all his fans after spine surgery
When it was first announced that Marc Marquez would be having a surgery once again after the other corrective procedures that he had undergone to recover from his elbow fracture, the fans of the Spanish racer were shocked. They had only started to get used to seeing Marquez swerve around his rivals to get near the top of the grid after his long hiatus from racing, and suddenly, they got the news that Marc Marquez would be leaving MotoGP for a while, once more.
With his fans’ concerns in mind, Marc Marquez decided to send them a message to let them know that he is well and recovering fast. In his note, he said, “I’ve received many messages of encouragement from you, the fans, and they are appreciated, especially at times like this. I want to let you know how I am doing with my recovery.”
He went on to say, “Now, I feel quite good, because there is no pain. I still have my arm immobilised and am doing light passive mobility exercises. I feel motivated, because the feeling is good, and I am excited to start recovery as soon as the doctors tell me to, to see if my arm works as it should.”
Marc Marquez finally said that currently, he is waiting on another X-ray which will be done 6 weeks post his surgery. The results of the X-ray will determine his path to recovery. He also mentioned, “Until then I’m enjoying a bit of a vacation, because we can’t start recovery 100 percent yet.”
