Who knows with these guys ?. It should be stable/functional with a plate in, the pain is the thing, possibly not something which worries MM as it would a normal mortal, but he absolutely cannot fall off the bike again, it was the 2nd fall which ended Jorge’s title challenge In 2013, and I wonder whether MM can ride differently than his normal style; he has at times looked more likely to crash when he attempts to ride conservatively, cf PI 2017. No fully leaned over saves I would have thought though. Last edited by michaelm; July 23rd, 2020 at 07:42 AM. | |

Is it worth the risk? No, in my view. | |

Would it be impressive or just stupid to for Marc to race this weekend...its not uncommon for him to crash in free practice.

He was declared fit to ride and it probably going to do it. If he wants to risk it all, then so be it. If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. |

That final turn hard braking after a few laps will take its toll.... | |

Sportsman is dreaming a comeback. Superman is getting leathers to fit a cast. Marquez is dialing his lap in mind, he knows he can, inside his head. I feel he'll run laps in practice, but not contend the race. Sensibility will reign. If he feels he can race, I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a p5 finish. He's that good, and we've all seen how mentally strong the lad is. I just hope he don't hurt himself further or others on track. Last edited by Barbedwirebikerr; July 23rd, 2020 at 07:30 AM. | |

His final best time was only good enough for 19th. Let's be honest he is doing himself more harm than good by even trying.... 26 lap race in extreme heat will take its toll on him and make him a danger to himself and others....no miracle podium this weekend...sorry.

There is little evidence of what you contend, of injured riders presenting greater risk to other riders. And in this case Marquez is well below what I have mentioned above. Probably more the opposite, injured riders are less of a risk, it’s only logical. | |
