Marc Marquez reoperated on the shoulder: new package in sight in Brno ?

No, MotoGP riders are not supermen … Marc Marquez must face this painful evidence as he will spend the next 48 hours under observation at Barcelona hospital, where his right humerus was again operated on. excessive efforts made during his previous convalescence. Explanations.

To the question "Did Marc Marquez do too much to return to the Andalusian GP, ​​just four days after having had an operation on his fractured shoulder during the previous race in Spain?", The reigning MotoGP world champion now has an unequivocal answer: yes, alas…

• Spanish GP:
• Czech Republic GP :

The official Honda rider is in fact returned to the operating table yesterday to replace the titanium plate placed thirteen days before to fix his humerus, which had moved under the effect of "excess stress" in the area. injured, reveals the HRC.

"The first operation had nevertheless gone well", continues Dr Xavier Mir, is again in charge of operating Marc Marquez in Barcelona (Spain), "but we did not expect that the applied plate would be insufficient: the stress in that place did indeed cause some damage, so we took it out and put in another one. ".

Although the medical profession and Honda modestly avoid indicating the causes of this unexpected "stress", they are quite obvious: the n ° 93 – – made colossal efforts to get back on his motor bike of 280 hp during the tests free 3 of the GP of Andalusia, only four short days after his surgery performed the previous Tuesday !

The Catalan had both impressed and worried by performing 40 push-ups (!) During the medical check-up carried out the Thursday before the race, practically on his release from the hospital. Declared fit to run, he finally gave up on Saturday night due to pain and weakness in his arm.

Marquez, under observation until Wednesday, will he be able to run on Sunday ?

MNC can hardly imagine the probable damage to the soft tissues (muscles) around the plaque in question…

"The pilot was in no pain," said Xavier Mir. "He always followed the advice of doctors and the feelings of his body (really ?! Editor’s note). Unfortunately, excess stress caused this problem. We now have to wait 48 hours to determine the recovery time", predicts the MotoGP "favorite" surgeon.

This unforeseen medical act raises a crucial question for the rest of the world championship: will Marc Marquez be able to compete in the third race of the season on Sunday in Brno? Here again, radio silence from HRC and Doctor Mir on this crucial subject…

A third consecutive white result would deal a severe blow to No. 93, because it would then be difficult for him to catch up with such a delay in this "sprint" championship imposed by the Covid-19. Remember that the drivers will only compete in 14 Grands Prix instead of the 20 scheduled, including one in Europe on November 22. That is to say as many points less to distribute…

 

Marc Marquez is currently 50 points behind Fabio Quartararo, leader of the provisional championship with his two victories in Jerez: in the event of the Honda rider’s further absence, the gap on the French prodigy and his Yamaha could climb to 75 units !

Another aspect to take into account: Sunday’s race in Brno kicks off a series of three races in a row, with two consecutive meetings in Austria following the Czech Republic GP. In case of too hasty return this weekend, Marc Marquez would take the risk of mortgaging the events to come…
