Marquez is just days away from the preseason Portimao test, the ♓final opportunity to assess what his machinery can do ahead of the season-opening race in the sam🐼e location on March 26.

Honda are coming off a disastrous 2022 and, with their star rider finally appearing 🌄injury-free after two y𒈔ears of problems, know the pressure is on to deliver him a competitive bike.

• Crazy story told by Marc Marquez🏅: “He grabbed my bone, it went ‘crack’”

“When th൲e tests were over in Valencia, in November, I squeezed Honda,” Marquez tol💃d . 

“I did it in public and in privꦡate, even more. 

“Because the more facilities🐼 the bike offers, the better [my physical ability] will work. 

“There has been a change in the structure of Honda, there is a new technical direc൲tor, and many things were teste꧟d, many, that are not done by the driver, but by the project.”

Marquez is vying for a seventh MotoGP championship in 2023 which would draw him level with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi’s total.

"I'm working and I'm going to train with the menta🙈lity of fighting for a championship,” he said. 

“And my goal is to win it this year. Then, we'll see if 🧔we can."

What if he cannot?

"And if n💛ot, frustration? Not really. If you can't, you can't.”

• Marquez on R🍎ossi: “I made a mistake, apologised - but he accused me, strongly”

Marquez underwent a fourth major arm surgery last summer but the ear𒅌ly signs look promising that he will not be prohibited by his own body in the early rounds of 2023.

He has also restructured his life in Madrid, away from his hometown of Cervera, and with Jaime Martinez replacing his longstanding manager Emilio Alzamora. His brother 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez has switched LCR Honda⛎ for Gresini Ducati an♔d it remains to be seen how this dynamic will play out.

“You don't need the same [things] when you're 20 as you do when you're 30, or you see things differently. I needed a change,” Marquez sa🃏id. 

“Above all, for sports. In the last three or four years it didn't quite flow in the 🐎same way. The injury made m🃏e stronger.

"It was essential for ⛦me not to change my lifestyle, to continue training in the same way. I said [to my brother]: 'If you don't come, neither will I.' But he also felt💝 like it. And it suited him.”

Will these substantial changes result in a redemption story tha𝔉t delivers the MotoGP championship?

“Life is already compensating me,” he said. “All this comes from a mistake of my own, from a rush, and also per✱haps from a lot of bad luck, but it⛄ is compensating for the way I am living again. As I want. Enjoying my passion, which is still my job.

“I hope t🐻hat all this suffering ends up compensating for a good result, but it is already wꦰorth living everything I have lived because I have matured in a different way. I do this to win again."
