This Sunday, there will be a small event in MotoGP on the starting grid of the Czech Republic Grand Prix. Marc Marquez, the boss of the category, will experience his hundredth start in the premier discipline. At 25, he has already accomplished a lot. Inevitably, this milestone is compared with that reached Valentino Rossi in his days. So who has the best hundred?
For that, we must launch the battle of numbers. Marc Marquez arrives at this stage of his career with already four major titles under his belt. It has been two years since he had this good harvest, so that in terms of the number of crowns, the Spaniard is earlier than Vale. But he had won 54 of his 100 races contested. MM93 is at 40 and maybe one more this Sunday.
In terms of points, the Yamaha official also leads with a total of 1 compared to the 957 of his younger brother. But apart from that, the eras are very different, so that comparison is not right. Thus, the Doctor's two-stroke machines and the first four-stroke machines with their incipient electronics were much more difficult to operate. At the same time, Marc Marquez faces more fierce adversity, of which is still part Valentino Rossi ! We will say that if there is doubt, the longevity of the last city and its aura give it an advantage.
