Marc Marquez reveals the change in character he underwent during his recovery from a broken arm.
Amid his domination of the 2025 MotoGP season, it’s easy to forget where Marc Marquez was only three years ago before his corrective surgery on his right humerus, broken in the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix. Marquez sat out the entire 2020 season after the crash, aiming to resume his command of MotoGP in 2021. However, an abnormality in the regrowth of his humerus led to further surgery in 2023. Dealing with daily pain affected Marquez’s personality, causing him to feel “angry” and “not the same person,” as he expressed in an interview. His brother, Alex Marquez, shared frustrations with media questions during Marc’s recovery process, highlighting the challenges they faced together. Ultimately, the decision for corrective surgery in 2022 was a well-considered one, aimed at improving Marc’s quality of life in the long run, despite sacrificing part of the championship.
