  "summary": "Marc Marquez, a Spanish motorcycle rider, recently posted a photo on his Instagram account showing his right shoulder and arm. According to Motorsport.com and Yahoo Sports, those close to Marquez agree that his public actions, including the photo, are not made at random. His public image is managed by his company, Vertical.\n\nThe photo, which showed Marquez shirtless with his right shoulder and arm fully exposed, was likely intended to convey a message. Marquez's right shoulder and arm have undergone seven operations over the past six years. By posting the photo, Marquez may have been contradicting his previous statements about not wanting to discuss his arm.\n\nMarquez had previously said he wanted to avoid talking about his arm, stating \"I want to try not to talk about my arm because it is what it is, and I have to race with it.\" However, the Instagram post suggested a change in strategy, which may have started two weeks earlier at the Silverstone circuit.",
