The 2025 MotoGP is making history from the start: Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) have taken the top two places: four races, two sprints, two Grands Prix in Buriram and Termas. 74 points for Marc, 58 points for Alex, and Pecco Bagnaia (43 points) is 31 points behind. In the paddock, there's talk: the brothers are joining forces to crush the competition, with Bagnaia leading the way. Is this a real conspiracy or a delusion? The Marquez brothers are half-hearted!
The start of the 2025 MotoGP season is marked by unprecedented domination by the brothers Marquez. Marc et Alex Marquez have achieved a one-two finish in the first four races of the championship, combining sprints and long races. This exceptional performance has sparked speculation in the paddock, with some suggesting that the two brothers are helping each other to maximize their results and marginalize Pecco Bagnaia, the double world champion Ducati.
So far, the 2025 MotoGP races have all followed the same pattern: Marc Marquez takes the lead, followed closely by his brother Alex, and both reach the finish line in that order. However, the dynamics differ between Sprints and long races. In the Sprints, Marc pushes hard from the start, keeping Alex in his wheel to secure a double victory. In the long runs, Marc seemed to let Alex lead for a large part of the race before overtaking him late in the race.
This strategy has led some to believe that Marc is protecting his brother by letting him lead to ensure he finishes second, thus limiting the points bagnaia.
The Marquez brothers: a declared cooperation, but no conspiracy
Asked about this possible collaboration, the brothers Marquez have not completely denied it. Of course, we try to help each other. ", said Marc Marquez en Argentina. However, he also stressed that he considered Alex as his main rival for the title, thus rejecting the idea of a conspiracy against bagnaia.
Several elements contradict the theory of an orchestrated family strategy: the sheer speed ofAlex Marquez which beats regularly bagnaia in qualifying without any help, proving he has the speed to compete at the highest level. The risks taken by MarcIn Argentina, he narrowly escaped a fall several times while trying to catch his brother, showing that he is not just protecting him but is actually fighting for victory.
Rather than worrying about the strategies of the Marquez brothers, Pecco Bagnaia must focus on improving their own level. Currently, the performance of Marquez seem out of reach for the Italian rider, who is struggling to regain his best form after a difficult start to the season.
The domination of the brothers Marquez at the start of the 2025 season is impressive, but it raises questions about the dynamic between the two drivers. While there is some cooperation, it seems more motivated by a desire to maximize their individual results than by a strategy aimed at marginalizing bagnaia. For now, the Marquez are simply the best, and bagnaia must focus on himself to hope to catch up with them.
