Rome, 20 September (LaPresse) – ‘Two years ago, I never would have imagined being in this shape. I'm here because I enjoy it, and the way I enjoy it is by winning. And now we're winning a lot, so that's why I feel relaxed and very confident, but I know from experience that everything can change from one day to the next.’ So said Spanish rider Marc Marquez in an interview on the official MotoGP website. The Ducati rider, who dominated the 2025 World Championship, refers to his injury at the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix while riding a Honda, when he fractured his humerus in Jerez. "You come from four consecutive titles and you feel invincible. The biggest mistake was coming back too quickly. I felt that nothing could happen. The hardest moment was when I returned in 2021, I was racing and I didn't feel well. My arm felt strange, it hurt and I had no motivation to continue. I was close to retiring. I asked myself, “Why don't we just stop?”. But there was something inside me that said, “Why not? Why should I stop?”. I wanted to prove my worth and whether I was competitive. So I realised I had to look for the best on the grid, and that was Ducati," he added. ‘If I hadn't been competitive that year with Gresini, my career would have been over. Leaving Honda and going to a team like Gresini on a free transfer just to prove to myself that I was competitive was a big challenge, in which I risked a lot,’ the Cervera talent emphasised
