Marc Marquez says he 'felt ready' to fight in his comeback MotoGP race in Aragon before he was involved in two accidents at the start.
The Honda rider was making his MotoGP return after a six-race absence to recover from a fourth major operation on the right arm he badly broke in 2020.
"Of course, the target of Aragon GP was try to do some kilometres and finish the race, but unfortunately I just did one lap after an amazing start," Marquez said on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Japanese GP. "But anyway, it's like this and it was unlucky – but at the same time lucky, because in both situations we were lucky nothing happened."Marquez expects this weekend's return to Motegi to be even more physically demanding on his recovering right arm, as he has not yet faced a circuit as demanding on braking with his current injury.
