Marc Marquez has the 2025 MotoGP championship at his feet: two sprints, two GPs (Buriram, Termas), four victories. In the GP25, he outclasses all his rivals, led by Pecco Bagnaia. TNT Sports experts – Neil Hodgson, Michael Laverty, Suzi Perry – are ecstatic: Marquez, an "uncopyable" genius, is redefining his art and reminding Rossi of him. He already seems to be heading towards a 9th title, just like the "Doctor" – and Austin (March 27-29), his backyard, is approaching!
Marc Marquez started the 2025 MotoGP season like a hurricane, sweeping everything in its path with two sprint wins and two Grand Prix victories. On its Ducati factory, the eight-time world champion left his rivals, including his teammate Francesco Bagnaia, in his wake. But what is most impressive is the way in which Marquez adapted his riding style to the Desmosedici GP25, demonstrating once again why he is considered one of the greatest geniuses in the history of motorcycling.
One of the keys to the success of Marquez lies in his unique riding style, which no one seems to be able to imitate. Neil Hodgson, analyst for TNT Sports, pointed out on crash.net this particularity: " Jorge Martin has always accused Pecco of copying his homework, of copying his settings on the bike. But Marc shows in such a special way that it cannot be copied. " A statement corroborated by Michael Laverty, who added: " Cal Crutchlow and Frankie Carchedi told us that what Marquez can do in left turns is extraordinary. No one else can do it. »
Marquez combines exceptional technical mastery with an ability to adapt his style as needed. It pivots the bike, it's body position, it's the rear brake, it's a confidence to open the gas and keep turning " explains Laverty. " Looking back on Marc's career, we didn't realize his talent. It was thought that HRC's power had allowed him to win these titles. But Marc created them. He now has the best motorcycle at his disposal. It's easyHe has mastered the GP25 perfectly. »
« It doesn't matter whether you like Marc Marquez or not. You have to know that he's a motorcycle genius. He redefined MotoGP racing. »
Francis Bagnaia, despite being a double world champion, seems to be overtaken by his teammate. While he has more experience on the Desmosedici, bagnaia failed to compete with Marquez in Thailand and Argentina. For Suzi Perry, presenter of TNT Sports, there is no doubt: " It doesn't matter whether you like Marc or not. You have to know that he's a motorcycle genius. He redefined MotoGP racing. »
Laverty compared Marquez to another legend of the sport: Valentino Rossi. "Seeing him today, This is no longer the Marquez of ten years ago. He looks so different on the bike ", did he declare. " This is something we talked about with Rossi, to be a chameleon, able to change style and make a motorcycle move. It took Marc a good part of 2024 to adapt to Ducati's way of doing things: slow down on entry, go through corners, use grip, be calmer, don't lose the front. He looks like a different driverRedefining your driving style requires some adaptation of the autopilot. He still drives with intensity, but less at the limit than on the Honda »
The adaptability of Marquez recalls that of Rossi, who had managed to move from the Honda world champion at the Yamaha in 2004, winning in his first season with the Japanese brand. Hodgson noted: " He works more on his exits. His only asset on Honda was attacking the turns. " Today, Marquez has refined his style, combining aggression and precision to dominate his opponents.
With two victories in two races, Marquez is on course to win a ninth world title, equaling the record of Rossi. A prospect that will not fail to add an extra layer of rivalry between the two legends, especially since bagnaia, graduate of the Academy VR46, seems powerless in the face of the domination of Marquez.
The third round of the season will take place on the Circuit of the Americas, a track where Marquez has always excelled. With seven wins in nine participations, the Texan circuit is considered his playground. If Marc Marquez continues on his momentum, he could well widen the gap in the general classification, leaving his rivals, including bagnaia, in a delicate position.
Marc Marquez is rewriting the rules of MotoGP. With his unique riding style, adaptability, and technical mastery, he will dominate the 2025 season like few before him. Against him, bagnaia and the others seem overwhelmed, unable to compete with this phenomenon. As the Circuit of the Americas approaches, Marquez has not finished making people talk about him.
