2013 MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez has had a nose surgery last Monday in Barcelona. No, he did not get a nose job to look prettier, but to be able to breathe better: a deviated septum had to be corrected.
Now, you're most likely seen him wearing a nasal plaster strip during races. That strip helped him maintain his nostrils wide, allowing him to breathe better through his nose, a thing which a deviated septum tends to impact negatively because of the respiratory obstruction.
So this time it was not Dr. Mir operating on a MotoGP rider, like we've seen on several occasions through the season, but Dr. Angel Chartre, Chief of the Internal Medicine of Hospital Universitari Quiron Dexeus and Dr. Miguel Conti, otorhinolaryngologist at the same facility.
Marquez can now breathe freely but he will need a week's rest as the doctors recommended.
