Marc Marquez is ready to do anything to defend his world crown in Moto GP. And even to take certain risks which may seem inconsiderate by ordinary people. Last Sunday, the Honda rider suffered a very violent fall during the opening round of the season in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain). A mishap that occurred at 150 km / h which ended with a transfer to the hospital and a fracture of the right humerus.
The day before the operation, his team had already come to terms with the idea of an expected package: “He is now injured, and must rest, try to treat his arm. When he's ready, he'll come back and fight for victory again. "
Hi everyone! The operation went well and I'm feeling better! Thanks to Dr. Mir and his entire team. I'm looking forward to starting my recovery! Thanks for your messages of support! pic.twitter.com/kuzBbKr7wC

The surgeons were reassuring about the severity of the injury, specifying that the radial nerve had been spared. His return was envisaged by Dr Mir in early August for the Czech Republic Grand Prix. The same day, the pilot posted a photo of him on social networks, his right arm entirely under a bandage, indicating that he was now ready to "begin his convalescence".
