Crutchlow hails Marquez's comeback and talent

Cal Crutchlow, who was in Qatar as a replacement rider this season, has praised Marc Marquez's ability to overcome difficulties and return to competing at the highest level. The Briton said Marquez has always shown a special talent and still has the speed, ambition and mindset needed to be among the best.

Crutchlow pointed to the season's dramatic turn, which began with an arm complication. Marquez has been close to the title, and Crutchlow said his rivals' mistakes and crashes have also influenced the championship. He added that Marquez is a very demanding rider with an enormous ability to analyse what happens on the bike.

Crutchlow, who shared the track with Marquez on Honda from 2015 to 2020, concluded that Marquez's talent and ambition make it difficult to set limits for him.
