The Repsol Honda’s stunningly brave riding style has be🧸en the hallmark of his decorated career.

Although he credits that mind-set for his six MotoGP championships, the same ex♛uberance has also caused the heavy crashes which have resulted in career-threatening injuries.

"One of the 🦹mental exercises I do when I go t♎o train is to measure risk,” Marquez told . 

“The guy who 𝓰accompanies me always has to say: 'Marc, be careful here', or 'Marc, watch out there'. 

“It's something I've worked hard at for the last few years, because it's hard for me to see the r🌌isk, and that's sometimes a strong point a🎶nd sometimes a weak point."

The notorious Jerez 2020 crash which broke Marquez’s humerus bone is whe🌠re his serious injury problems began.

He rushed back quickly, just days after the oper𒀰ation, but quickly realised it was overly ambitious. Now, Marquez realis💮es this was the kind of risk-taking he should steer clear of.

Mid-way through 2022 he unde꧂rwent a fourth arm operation and, as the 2023 season nears, the ceiling of his ability i✃s one of the main talking points.

"Ment♛al scars in the sense of braking, have not left,” he said. 

“I have learned that I do not have to risk in the way of facing a reco💛very, but🦹 I will continue to risk the same on the track. 

“It has been seen in my last five races, in which I have gone ♔fast and I have been the one who has fallen the most times, because I wanted to get where the bike did not reach. 

“I will always take that risk, because the daꦚy I stop doing it I will start to slow down and then it will be time to go home."
