Marc Márquez has overcome the most difficult phase of the injuries he suffered in 2020 in his right arm, but since then he has admitted that he will never be the same as before – no matter how competitive he is.
In fact, this year, in the move to Gresini and to a Ducati bike, he has shown that he still has the abilities to fight for top positions. In Austin, he once again proved this, with a second place in the Sprint race of the Americas GP.
However, Dani Pedrosa – who spoke with his former teammate – revealed to DAZN that #93 may be limited in his right arm: ‘From what I understood, he doesn’t have as much strength or can’t apply as much force to the handlebars as before‘.
The current Red Bull KTM test rider explained that arm strength was a physical limitation of his, deducing from a conversation with Márquez that the eight-time world champion is now struggling to be agile:
– When we competed together, I was weaker than him in that aspect, precisely for the same reason, because I lacked more physical strength to move the bike quickly, and from his response, he gave me the impression that since everything he went through with his arm, he has more difficulties in being agile.
