Marquez: "[I Want] To Be As Fast As I Was"
T
his is what Repsol Honda's
Marc Marquez said regard-
ing what his goals are in a recent
in-house interview released by
the team.
When asked what he is aiming
for in 2021 Marquez answered:
"Normally the goal for a season,
for a rider, is to try and win the
championship and find small
details to fight for the champion-
ship. But this 2021 season is
completely different, my main
goal is trying to enjoy being on
the bike again. This will be the
main target for me: to be on the
bike again, enjoy the bike, and
then step by step, start to be as
fast as I was. But this will be, it's
something that you need to un-
derstand, and you can't pretend
to arrive one year without being
on the bike and be the same
Marc in the first race. It's some-
thing that we must understand,
and the main target is what I
said, to enjoy being on the bike."
When asked about getting
on the bike again, he said, "The
thing is, [this is] the first time in
my life, in my career, that there
has been six, seven, eight, nine,
10 months without a bike, with a
big injury. Of course, the first time
that I will ride the bike I will not be
truly 100 percent because you
know, one thing is to be 100 per-
cent on the bone side, then being
100 percent on the muscles and
all these things. We will see, I can
imagine the best comeback that
is to start riding the bike again
and be the same, but it will be
difficult to be like this. But we
will see if it takes one race, two
races, half the season to be the
same Marc."
