2022 MotoGP Season Ends Early For Marc Marquez

JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, will end the 2022 MotoGP race early. After the Italian MotoGP at the Mugello Circuit, the Spaniard will undergo surgery on his problematic right arm.

This decision was taken by Marc Marquez after discussing with the team, Honda and also the doctors who handled him. This is considered the best step considering his performance has not improved because he continues to push himself.

"18 months ago Marc had the last surgery on his right side and since then he has gone through a long rehabilitation process, working with his medical team in Madrid. Of course we have made quite a bit of progress but unfortunately his position on the bike is not what he expected, " said Repsol Honda manager Alberto Puig, as quoted by Crash.

Marc Marquez's operation is scheduled to take place next week. The holder of six MotoGP world titles will undergo surgery in the United States.

Puig said surgery had to be carried out now because Marquez's right arm bone was in the condition recommended by the doctor's team.

"Before it could not be done because the bone was too soft, and it was not recommended. Now, (surgery) was recommended and finally we decided this would be done," said Puig.

"For that reason Marc will be stopped after this grand prix and will take some time off. He will have surgery in the United States."

"He has suffered a lot for a long time and we want to thank him for all his efforts during this time, because he suffered a lot," continued Puig.

At the same time, Marc Marquez admits things have become complicated after the first injury to his right arm. The worst thing is the infection experienced.

"The doctors did an amazing job in the last 18 months to try to prevent the infection and restore my bone, it worked. But after that when I got back to racing I felt restricted," he said.

The 29-year-old racer later said he had not enjoyed racing this season. Marquez felt a lot of pain, a lot of pain and a loss of strength.

"I can not race the way I want. My performance is not bad, just not like I want," he said again.

"I worked very hard in the last four months, but there was no progress. Then we evaluated everything and considered doing another operation," continued Marc Marquez.
