Fabio Quartararo isn't the last to notice: Marc Marquez continues to reign supreme in MotoGP 2025. Winner of the German Grand Prix and the rain-soaked Sachsenring Sprint, the Ducati rider now has an 83-point lead over his brother Alex in the overall standings. Halfway through the season, his eighth world title seems almost certain.
« I don't think there's anyone at Marquez's level right now. Not just now, but for the past ten years. », says fabio quartararo in the columns of AS. " He's good at everything: wet, dry, with an injured arm…It's like FIFA, where all players have a rating of 99 »
The Frenchman, the only other driver to have taken a pole position this season (four against seven for Marquez), nevertheless recognizes a possible weakness in the Spaniard: the dry, where pure speed can create surprises.
« In unusual conditions, it is almost unbeatable. But in dry conditions, it could pose some problems.In pure speed, I have the potential to be very fast. »

But the domination of Marquez is such that even its most serious rivals remain realistic. Jorge MartinAmong Aprilia, must restart, while Francis Bagnaia, teammate of Marquez in Ducati, points to 147 points in the championship.
For Quarterly, the frustration is all the greater as he fights with a Yamaha behind in the constructors' championship. Far from the heights of 2021, the Frenchman does not hide his weariness:
« It hurts a lot more than falling. It's been a strange and difficult year. I know my speed on a lap, but our bike is very fragile. From one day to the next, depending on the heat or cold, she changes completely »
"The Devil", without a win since 2022, threatens to leave Yamaha if the brand does not offer him a more competitive machine for 2026. Until then, he tries to save his honor at each Grand Prix... while helplessly observing the overwhelming superiority of Marc Marquez.
