Márquez Claims Historic 100th Career Victory in Hungary
Marc Márquez secured his 100th career victory at the MotoGP Grand Prix in Hungary, marking his first win of the 2023 season. The race followed a challenging start for the rider, characterized by technical difficulties, and suggests a resurgence for the current champion. Márquez himself confirmed the breakthrough, stating, “Yes, if I didn’t feel good, I wouldn’t have raced.
Mentally, I’m at the highest level in my life, all the problems have only strengthened me.” He emphasized a significant shift in his mental fortitude. Unyielding competitor, Luca Bezzecchi, acknowledged Márquez as a strong favorite. However, the veteran rider addressed concerns regarding the pressure he’s facing.
Márquez revealed he’s been managing a shoulder injury, noting a change in his arm’s function. “I found out that my arm is now working in a different way. Not worse than at the beginning of the season, just different,” he explained.
To address the issue, Márquez has been undertaking rehabilitation work in the gym. “We did some work in the gym, I hope it will also be felt on the bike,” he added. Márquez, who is also Czech, is focused on building upon this momentum.
