Tendido Sud : émission du mercredi 26 novembre 2014 (2/2)
Barcelona, Jun 4 (EFE) .- (Camera: EFE) When Marc Márquez gets on his bike, he is mentally prepared but physically he’s not quite there yet, he tells Efe in an interview. FOOTAGE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH MARQUEZTRANSLATIONThe six-times MotoGP champion is still recovering from a fractured humerus he suffered during the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, which has required three surgeries.Speaking ahead of the Catalan GP, he explains that his results on the track have taken a back seat for now and that he is more focused on regaining his mental composure on the Honda. The Spaniard does not rule out gunning for a podium position, or even a race win, in the latter part of the season. “When I got back on the motorbike for the first time in Portimao, I was excited, to believe that things would go well. I felt the same in Jerez. But that excitement meant frustration. Being hopeful is one thing, reality is another,” he says. “You can have hope, but you also need to be clear about how far you can go. You should approach things with optimism while being realistic.”At first he thought his recovery would be smooth but it has been something of a rollercoaster.“There are irritations, pains. First one arises, then another. An inflammation here, and inflammation there. “It’s forced me to put my excitement to one side and concentrate on the moment, accept what I’m going through and draw different motivations from it.”Rather than focusing on results on the circuit, he is taking motivation from noticing improvements in how he feels and what he is capable of doing on the bike. “Driving the bike, my head is one space but my body doesn’t follow.“The best psychological treatment for me is to be surrounded by my loved ones and to keep clear objectives,” he adds.“I don’t hit the majority of my objectives because I set them too high. But I get around to them later. At the moment, the only thing I need is my surroundings, my team and my family.“You need to remember where you came from, because you quickly forget that, as well as be clear on where you want to end up. It’s a difficult change to accept because you give it your all every weekend and almost all the other drivers are going faster than me. It’s something I need to accept if I’m going to get to where I want to be.”Márquez says he wants to reach the same level he was at before the accident.“No more, no less. That’s what we’re working towards. In life, we have the law of gravity. It takes a lot of effort to climb something, but dropping down is quick. All of a sudden you go down with no effort at all.”Nine months is a long recovery process, and in that time he says everything has gone through his mind, including fears that he might not be able to return to his normal top level of racing. There were moments he was unable to eat with his right hand, and times when he couldn’t move it at all, he explains. But after the third operation, things have started to improve. “When it comes to strength, right now I’m not at all bad in the gym, but when I get on the bike I get discomforts that cause me pain and inhibit my strength. “I asked for an opinion from my doctor, and he was clear: ‘do not forget that we told you the recovery period would be from six months to a year. You’ve just reached six months. You’ve got back on the bike early because the bone healed and we said you were ready, but be aware that your discomfort will remain for the rest of the year’.”
