AS asked him if he had seen the bitter experience the Huelva native had gone through in the morning, before he got on his Ducati with which he later finished fourth in the British GP, and of course he had seen it: “Yes, I have seen it and I send her my best wishes. I think this is the third time she has injured her knee. That is a real drama, and frustrating, because you have been preparing for four years and then, bam, you get injured in the most important match. It’s the luck or lack of luck that an athlete has to have at certain times, and you can’t control injuries. There will be those who say that she has given a lot, because I have heard everything, and that she was very aggressive, but the thing is that she has to play aggressively and you can’t play thinking about not getting injured, because that way you don’t play well.”
The eight-time world champion, thanks to his track record, knows what he is talking about and that is why we asked him to send some advice from Silverstone to the great Carolina Marín. He did so with pleasure and based on his experience: “I know Carolina personally and she is an excellent girl and a fighter. My advice to her is to remember that she has done it twice and that she can do it three times. She should keep fighting and think that she will recover from the injury.” Obviously, it will leave a mark, because all injuries leave a mark, and even more so if it is the second time that it affects that knee, but he will definitely recover.”
