Marc Marquez’s vision recovery “harder” than in 2011

Marc Marquez's vision recovery "harder" than in 2011

The Honda rider was forced to miss the final two rounds of 2021 and sit on the sidelines for three months when a concussion suffered in a training accident left him with double vision issues due to nerve damage.

Marquez went through a similar thing in the winter of 2011 when he crashed during the Malaysian Moto2 weekend and gravel damaged his eye.

This led to a period of uncertainty for the young Spaniard’s career, which occurred again last winter as he recovered from the issue.

Marquez was cleared to return to his MotoGP bike for pre-season testing last month and says the experience he had with his arm injury in 2020 helped him with his vision recovery.

“Yeah, I mean this time for me… always the last time is harder because you forget the first time,” Marquez told Motorsport.com in an exclusive interview last month.

“But this time was harder. Why? Because I knew what would arrive, what is coming.
