\u201cFor me, the most important lesson MotoGP has taught me is to have respect for one\u2019s body,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always thought that my body was at the service of motorcycling, and that I\u2019d give everything for the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, injuries, difficulties, and experience have taught me that, if you don\u2019t respect your body, those moments don\u2019t come, and you can\u2019t even enjoy them.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy goal was to get back to the top, to be competitive again, but to achieve that you can\u2019t just look at the top of the mountain.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to go step by step, gain back your confidence, win another podium, another victory, and slowly build up the climb to the final peak, the one that everyone wants to reach but few can really conquer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marquez suffered a complicated shoulder injury in a collision at the Indonesian Grand Prix in early October.<\/p>\n
Originally not requiring surgery, he went under the knife a week after the crash as it was not healing as expected.<\/p>\n
This ruled him out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, as well as the post-season test in Valencia.<\/p>\n
Marquez did ask his doctors if he could test, but he was told he could only ride if he was sure he wouldn\u2019t crash and aggravate the injury.<\/p>\n
His recovery is progressing well, however, and he is expected to be on the bike for the first pre-season test at Sepang in early February.<\/p>\n
