I would bet the early return was MM’s idea.

I don’t expect many to agree but I actually feel this injury related pause could potentially prolong Marquez’s career to avoid burn out. He’s been at it since a very young age afterall. Alternatively he may have now discovered there’s more to life than motogp, not such a bad thing either really. | |

I am well aware Mick nearly lost that leg, similarly from vascular supply problems but not just to the bone. He was left with a not very functional leg, although it is much better now after multiple operations post his retirement I am led to believe, and what he did riding with one leg was remarkable, but there were workarounds like the hand/thumb operated brake or whatever, not so much for riding with one arm.

The list of people who failed to stop him from doing so is long though...his team, manager, HRC, hell even his dad should have put their foot down, but this god complex he must have by now... It sounds like his arm is in bad shape at any rate, and he's keeping quiet about it for his next ride. |

We don't know that, but if doctors who performed this surgery failed to warn him the plate is only to hold it together until it heals and not a bone strength replacement then those people must take most of the blame. But if they did and Marc thought, eh, I have heard these warnings before, nothing happened, than it's Marc himself.

What transpired between MM and his own doctors is his personal business, but Dorna/motogp have their own doctors who are independent of MM and his team, and how he was passed fit to ride by them is an entirely different consideration which misfit questioned from the getgo.

It’s the golden goose thing. The show must always go on from the point of view of those who really benefit monetarily from that,
