Marc Marquez says he was 'suffering more than enjoying' his return to MotoGP action in today's test at Misano, but the six-time champion was happy with how his arm reacted.
The six-time MotoGP world champion made his highly anticipated return after 100 days away, following a fourth major surgery aimed to fix his badly broken arm suffered at the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix.
"The first runs I didn't enjoy it a lot but then the last runs I started to enjoy it a bit more," Marquez said, his fastest lap over eight tenths of a second off pacesetter Aprilia's"It is like this, even if you do a normal pre-season and the first day in Qatar you struggle because these bikes are so powerful and you can be very fit but the bike is different.
Marquez still feels it is too early to predict when he'll be fully fit for a MotoGP race return and will use tomorrow's track time and his recovery later this week to assess his condition. "If I feel a step, or maybe sometimes after a big effort you go one step behind because you start to feel some pain. I've got to understand the body and what it is asking for.
