Marc Marquez is looking forward to returning to compete in MotoGP.
And it is with a photo on Instagram that the Honda rider announces to his fans that he is engaged in a workout in the gym.
"First day of indoor cycling" writes in the caption Marquez who, as is evident from the photo, still has the brace on his right arm.
The Cervera rider has been absent from competitions since last July when he fell, after an amazing comeback at the Spanish Grand Prix, fracturing the humerus of his right arm.
Two days after the crash, on 21 July, the Spaniard was in the operating room determined to return to Jerez for the Andalusian Grand Prix.
After having covered a few laps of FP3 he had to raise the white flag giving up that heroic feat.
On August 3, he returned to the operating room where doctors replaced the titanium plate.
The recovery period lasted much longer than we could have imagined and for the rest of the season it was test rider Stefan Bradl who replaced Marc Marquez in the Honda garage.
At the beginning of December, the Spaniard underwent the third operation where, as explained in the Repsol Honda press release, "an iliac crest bone graft with free corticoperiosteal flap was added".
The recent post demonstrating his return to the gym is a first sign that feeds the hope and desire of all the fans to see the eight-time world champion soon and in top form.
Will you take part in the test on March 6 in Qatar?
Will you take part in the first Grand Prix of the year scheduled for March 26 in Losail?
While waiting to find a certain answer to these questions, what is certain is that Marquez will do everything to be there.
