It did not fail Marc Márquez on the most important day of his life. I wanted to be a MotoGP world champion again to the first, because I had already waited six yearsand everything has come out as he wanted. With A second place without taking risks behind Pecco Bagnaiawinner also in the long race after doing so in the Sprint. With that second place and his brother Álex Sixthit was enough to be able to celebrate and that is what Cervera has done, on a day of many nerves
Marc He breathed deep When sitting in your box chair half an hour after the race began. That blow was for get the nerves out of the lungs They announced that it was not an anyway. On the contrary. It was a very special day, because they have passed 2,184 Since the last time he was world champion MotoGP. It was in 2019, six years ago, that for everything that has happened they have seemed sixty. Four operations In the right humerus, A diplopia (double vision) and many questions, the most crucial, if you would have to retire. “The withdrawal was close”, He has said several times, remembering those moments of seeing the races on the couch, suffering in the physiotherapy sessions and not being able nor hold a glass of water With the right arm. The one that exploded in Jerez in 2020 and who did not return to its place until that fourth operation, to all or nothing, in which the bone had to be turned several degrees to work well. After that, it remained to compete again, to win and fight for the titles, but there were still obstacles on the road. That of one Sling that had become a meat chopper, which hurt each fall and It did not allow him to be competitive. So I had to bet on everything or nothing. Give up many millions of euros and leave his home forever to go to Gresinia satellite team where it would run practically free to recover the sensations, the Butterflies in the stomach They told him yes, that his sports career could continue. In addition, he meant approaching Ducati, to that official ducati I wanted, The best motorcycle for the best pilot. An ideal combo that has flourished in this 2025 with record numbers and a title that had to close in Japan, again, as in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
The weight of the suffered was so great that he acknowledged being nervous already Saturday at the sprintwhere he went from less to more, controlling not to fall and take another step towards the Holy Grail. He put his brother Álex nine points, so in the long race It was enough not to lose six with his “Brother”. He depended on himself, it was enough to win, be second or be ahead of the other Márquez. But the responsibility was enormous for closing those more than 2,000 days. He had the speed and only had to do what he knows best: to pilot and not lose more than six points with his brother. He has done it to culminate a resurrection that is historical, perhaps the greatest in the world of sport at any time, above the returns of Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.
