The Repsol Honda rider is in Malaysia for the first test of 2019, two months on from the operation on his left shoulder.
Tomorrow sees the first official test of the 2019 preseason start at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. Marc Márquez has been preparing for the return to action for two months since, just a few days after completing the 2018 campaign, he underwent an operation to treat a recurring injury to his left shoulder.
The Repsol Honda Team rider is still unable to ride to the fullest, but is looking forward to getting back onboard a bike, as explained in an exclusive video of his rehabilitation work. Carlos J. García, his physiotherapist, revealed that “there were orders to take apart his bikes, as he had such a strong desire to ride ahead of time.”
When Marc Márquez got off his Honda on November 29th at the last test of 2018, he began a race against the clock to get in the best possible shape for the first official test of 2019. After surgery on December 4th carried out by doctors Xavier Mir and Teresa Marlet, he started recovery work with his physiotherapist one week later. Since then, two 2.5 hour sessions a day, every day except on the 24th, 25th and 31st of December and the 1st of January, have allowed the current MotoGP World Champion to be ready for the three days of testing in Sepang.
