Aragon MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: Marc Marquez' Long, Hard Road Back



In the summer of 2023, Marc Márquez began to ponder taking the biggest gamble of his career. It had been three years of misery. First, breaking his arm in that fateful crash at Jerez at Turn 3 in July 2020, when MotoGP returned after the start of the pandemic. Then trying to ride again just three days after surgery to plate the humerus he broke.

That was one of the worst decisions of his life, nearly ending his career and leaving him in pain for the best part of two years. Three more surgeries followed, each one of which risked damaging the nerves which run down the humerus, which could have ended his career. He had a new plate fitted, then another surgery to deal with an infection in the bone, and finally one last radical operation to try to fix the issues caused. Surgeons would break the humerus again, and rotate the lower part through 30 degrees, back to its original position, and fix it in place again.
