Yes, because according to the Salzburg newspaper, Marcel Hirscher would have definitively chosen to leave the competitive spirit and the world of skiing, after having suffered an injury in July. It would be, and it is correct to use the conditional even in this case, of a problem accused not during a training on the snow, also because (even if limiting very much, by now, its own communications at social and media level in general) the ace of Annaberg would not have resumed the activity on the skis until late August. Certainly not an injury of too big an entity, if we think that last week Marcel was riding a KTM-branded Moto2, having made another exit on the track, at Spielberg's Red Bull Ring, after the one at the beginning of July when he tried for the first time a racing MotoGP. On the official announcement of the withdrawal that is given for sure, the spokesman of the 30-year-old from Salzburg, Stefan Illek, has kept us clear that "no media has spoken with Marcel and there is no confirmation from us of what is was indicated in the last days â€. Wednesday evening at the Gusswerk Congress Center in Salzburg, in front of media from all over the world (there will also be CNN and New York Times correspondents), starting at 8.15 pm and with a live broadcast on ORF 2, the word will finally pass to Hirscher.
