🗣️ 'I can't face the second part of the season thinking about fighting for the top positions' After recovering from injury, Marc Marquez opens up on his nightmare first half of 2023, how he'll approach the next part of the MotoGP campaign and more ⬇️

Marc Marquez has opened up on his 2023 MotoGP season, admitting it has been"one of the worst moments" of his career and Honda isn’t in the fight for victories.Aside from the catastrophe caused by his crash and injury at Jerez in July 2020, forthe first part of the 2023 season has undoubtedly been one of the most unrecognisable moments of his career.

Marquez has 85 victories to his name, 59 of them in the premier class, but he has not been able to cross the finish line as a grand prix winner since 20 September, 2021, when he won the Emilia Romagna GP.The situation has triggered speculation about his future, pointing to a possible Honda exit even before completing his current contract which concludes at the end of 2024.

How are you with the rib injury that prevented you from staring the Dutch GP at Assen, are you 100% recovered?"From the rib injury I recovered very well, very quickly. In fact, I had to rest for a week more than I wanted, but it went well for me because I went to Mallorca, but I wanted to start working earlier and I couldn't, I had to lengthen it due to the rib issue. But what bothered me the most was my [right] ankle, which was very inflamed.

But for a rider who is used to winning like you, if you don't go looking for results, where will you get the motivation to compete?"Right now the motivation is to use willpower and sacrifice, to use routine. I said it at the last press conference [at Assen] and that's what I did this summer when I went to train, I tried to have a good time, I had fun doing flat track, which I hadn't practiced for a long time, I've ridden a small motorcycle, which helps me to have fun.
