Indonesia's TMCBlog reported that Ducati's Marc Marquez opened up at Silverstone about the state of his right arm. After a May 2026 surgery to remove a stabilizing implant following his late-2025 Mandalika crash, he won three straight races at Balaton Park, Brno and Sachsenring, but admitted his right arm 'works differently now, not like last year or even early this season.' The title fight is heating up against young rivals Bezzecchi, Martin and Ogura.

Having watched this from the paddock myself, that line about his arm being 'different now' carries the most weight. When the muscle memory from corner entry to exit changes, you've got no choice but to rebuild your form from scratch. Three straight wins with that going on is monstrous, but he's clearly not satisfied. With Bezzecchi and Martin coming hard, whether the arm adapts in time is the story of the second half.

Not forcing his old form back is the right call given the reinjury risk.

How hard is it for a rider to actually change their form after an injury?

Coming back this far since the Mandalika crash is honestly impressive on its own.

But if he himself says it's different, objectively he's probably not at 100%.

This is exactly the opening Bezzecchi and Martin needed.

Three straight wins and he says it's 'not the same'? Sounds pretty strong to me tbh.

That's just how it is after an injury — you can win and still feel off.
