Amidst all the inevitable opprobrium being, rightly or wrongly, heaped upon Taka,we should perhaps take a moment to reflect on the fact that the dude head-butted a Ducati rear wheel in a MotoGP Race and lived to tell the tale.

Márquez taking the time he needs to heal before returning to MotoGP is really smart. He’s 27 & has raced in GP’s since he was 15. Missing a year now to rest & fully recuperate could lengthen his career considerably A big decision, but easier to make if you’re on a 4 year deal...
