These are not easy days for Marcel Hirscher, who last Wednesday suffered a bad injury with his enduro Husqvarna, during the fourth special stage of Red Bull Romaniacs, a stage specialty rally in the heart of the Carpathians, over a 600 km race. .
The champion winner of eight consecutive World Cups fell badly and, as is known, was operated on only a few hours later in Salzburg, as he himself explained on Thursday morning. The fracture in his left leg is bad, with the tibia involved (and the insertion of nail and screws to stabilize it) and an injury to the knee ligaments, but his general condition is good and, with the return home, Marcel is already think about a future in motion that ... he loves it.
“I'll be back, I have too much passion for this sport”, the words of the Salzburger, who apparently was traveling at a very high level in the race in Romania, in what is considered by the experts to be the most difficult enduro rally in the world. Rising from 60th to 26th position, before the fall and the return home, supported by his brother Leon and the historic physiotherapist who, after having had to leave Team Hirscher before the end of the career of the Annaberg native, accompanied him in this adventure.
He was not present in Romania, but Hirscher knows well the one who brought him closer and closer to motorcycles (even on the track, just think of the tests at the Red Bull Ring), the winner of the Dakar 2018, compatriot Matthias Walkner who spoke at the “Kronen Zeitung” after the injury of his friend Marcel. “A ski race lasts only two minutes, a race day in a rally five or six hours. If you get distracted for a moment, unfortunately, something always happens quickly.
Marcel was strong on the second day, he is always very ambitious when it comes to competition. He will recover soon ”.
