That Marc Marquez has received only four days after his heavy crash in Jerez, and only two days after the Operation on the upper arm, the start permission for this MotoGP weekend, took many by surprise. Also Honda team Manager Alberto Puig to: “no one has expected to see him here.”
“happened in the accident, were our Worries large. We had to travel to Barcelona, in order to let the OP carry out. She ran, honestly, spectacularly good,” he praises the work of Dr. Xavier Mir in Barcelona. “That was not to be expected. We knew that the doctor is good, but he has done a fantastic Job.”
According to the OP it was gone Marquez better than expected: “He was not feeling well, had a lot of pain and was able to move the Arm. The nerve was not affected, according to the information of the doctor.” As a result, he came up with the desire to try it in Jerez 2 back on his Team. The actually had other plans.
Saturday is supposed to of knowledge about true Fitness bring
“Honda wanted to skip this race originally, and it is in Brno try,” says Puig. “But after Marc had expressed the desire to taste it, and the Doctors gave her the Go, we came to the decision to send him on Saturday on the track. Depending on how he feels, he will try it in the race or not.”
That is: At training Friday, Marquez will expose and continue to conserve. “Saturday will run a test. He should understand, if he really be able to survive the distance. In the event that the risk should be too high, know, Marc, that we will refrain from involvement in Racing better,” explains Puig.
That agreement was reached on this approach, is due to the fact that it is a Back-to-Back races on the same track, and last week was driven. “If this was a new route, it would be more difficult. But we were already here to train and to race.”
FIM-doctor: Marquez has Tests “excellent” passed
“so We know the Set-up of the motorcycle, and Marc knows how to ride the Bike on this route,” emphasises the Honda team boss. It therefore make no sense to Marquez on Friday, on track and injury additional Stress to suspend – even if Marquez would probably like already on Friday.
“He will give it a try on Saturday and see how it goes. Honda and Team, it is important to respect the wishes of the driver, so we agreed on this compromise,” said Puig. “But from last Sunday, until now, have things developed so fast and well that we are very surprised.”
The hope is that Marquez will be able to ride the race on Sunday best, is so very real. In conversation with ‘MotoGP.com’ confirmed Giancarlo Di Filippo, medical Director of the FIM: “He has completed all required Tests, and in an excellent manner. In this respect, we classify him as a fit for this Event.”
Alberto Puig: Honda urges to drive anyone
And he added: “We have absolutely no doubt. Marc is a professional and a Champion. If he should not be in the situation or any Problem should arise, it will cancel. But for the Moment all the Tests are positive, no pain, no impairments. He is not fit.”
On the question of how important this is for Honda, responds to Puig: “of Course, it is important that Cal and Marc recover quickly.” Also Cal Crutchlow, LCR Honda, was injured in Jerez last week. He had to have surgery on the navicular bone, but received on Thursday, such as Marquez, the start release for the weekend.
“you know, at the Moment, our fastest and most driver, but, unfortunately, both are injured,” says Puig after the race 1. “But I want to make it clear that Honda its driver never pushes. We respect the condition of the driver and their opinion. Therefore, we let Marc it here to try it.”
“Certainly, the results of Marc and Cal are important for us,” he says. “If a driver is not 100% fit, you can push him. This is not the case, you have to take a step back and consider what is possible.” At the mercy, you will let Marquez at the second Jerez race so not to.
