Marc Marquez says enough (for now) with motocross: Jumps too risky – MotoGP – Moto.it
“Too risky” – said the champion from Cervera. Which, however, he explains that he does not want to give up the risk on the track, since he knows no other way to win

Making risks in the race is one thing, going to look for them when not needed is another. Marc Marquez must have thought this way before reaching a painful decision: no more training with the motocross bike. Or in any case, no more jumps. He told Simon Patterson in an interview with Speedweek: “I have decided to stop doing motocross training because the jumps are too dangerous. When I got injured at the end of October, there were only two races to go until the end of the MotoGP season ”.
S.Celta made, therefore, even if one wonders if it was Marc Marquez who matured it or if, rather, the 93 had to suffer it, with HRC and some sponsors who maybe asked him to settle down. Also because he doesn’t even think about giving it to himself on the speed bikes and he himself says it: “I take a lot of risks and I pay them – he said – If I don’t take risks, everything goes smoothly, but if I hadn’t risked in my career I would have been MotoGP World Champion in 2013. Or even 2017 MotoGP World Champion, when I fought against Lorenzo in the final in Valencia. I don’t even remember all the risky races, there are so many. The truth is that without taking risks I would never have won so many world titles. In the end, this is my philosophy, injuries hit you when you least expect them, as happened at the end of last season, but the only thing that matters is that now I feel better again ”.
