Italy showed yesterday its perplexity and admiration for Marc Márquez, the nine-time world champion, who continues to win races with his right arm damaged. The Spanish rider published an image on Instagram where it can be seen that his right arm and shoulder have nothing in common, neither muscularly nor visually, with the left arm.
The transalpine country is considered the birthplace of brands like Ducati and Aprilia, which makes this reaction particularly significant in the world of motorcycling. The Italian press was impressed by Márquez's ability to continue competing at the highest level despite the evident injury to his right upper limb.
Among the Italian riders mentioned in the article are Francesco "Pecco" Bagnaia, Márquez's teammate on the Lenovo team, and Marco Bezzecchi, a title contender for Aprilia. Also mentioned is the Spanish rider Jorge Martín, from Madrid, who competes for the same team as Bezzecchi.
The fact that Márquez achieves impressive sporting results with such a compromised physical condition in his right arm provoked a mixture of astonishment and respect in the Italian motorcycling environment, which recognizes the extreme difficulty of riding a MotoGP bike under these conditions.
