Marc Márquez continues his recovery

The Catalan rider presented a new personal sponsor this morning in Barcelona, where he held a press conference and revealed more details about his physical condition and when he will return to racing.

The rider from Cervera took advantage of this presentation to talk about his recovery after the surgery he had to undergo to correct the double vision problem he has been suffering since the training sessions for the Malaysian Grand Prix last year.

Not long ago, we saw him riding motocross, which is a very good sign and shows that his recovery is on the right track. The downside is that the doctors still cannot guarantee he will regain 100% of his vision, but they are not ruling out that it could happen.

Since the surgery I have noticed progress. I no longer have the double vision problem, and now I just need to stabilise when looking upwards. I have started doing motocross because it doesn’t cause me any problems, but for the speed bikes I still need a little more time. We don’t know when that will be, but I hope to get back on track as soon as possible.

The problem is that it is not a muscle injury, and it needs more time than originally expected to fully recover. He also said that there is a small possibility he will not make it to the opening race in Qatar, although he is not yet considering that option. There was also talk of him having the chance to take part in some private tests, but I cannot confirm whether they are the ones being discussed from 7 to 9 March in Portimão.

As for how he sees the class after the first pre-season tests, he compared the performance of Suter and Kalex, which are expected to be the ones fighting for the title at the end of the year. Alzamora commented on this that Suter is a few tenths behind Kalex, but what really matters is the rider. Moreover, Kalex winning the last world championship has made them the favourite for this season, but Suter will have some very strong riders, such as Luthi, Elías or Márquez himself.
