Marc Márquez, 33-year-old Ducati rider and nine-time world champion in motorcycle racing, published a series of images on his Instagram that reveal, for the first time so evidently, the enormous difference between his healthy left arm and his severely affected right arm. The Spanish rider's right arm has already undergone seven surgical interventions over the years.
The publication, seemingly normal and routine, actually contains an announcement described as extremely hard and serious. The visual comparison between the two arms shows in a striking way the consequences of the multiple surgeries that Márquez has faced due to his injuries.
Márquez is currently pursuing his tenth world title in MotoGP. The rider is just 19 points behind the championship leader, the Madrilenian Jorge Martín, keeping the title fight alive.
The article suggests that few will have noticed the true message contained in these images, which clearly show the extent of the physical damage that the rider carries and which are not usually visible to the public.
