Marc Marquez has never been a rider like the others. Ten years after his thunderous MotoGP debut, he continues to defy time, statistics... and his rivals. In 2025, riding the factory Ducati, the Spaniard demonstrates that pure genius and raw instinct can still forge legends in a sport that has become ultra-technological.
His run since 2020 could have broken any champion. A fall at Jerez, multiple operations on the right arm, a motorcycle Honda increasingly withdrawn... and seasons spent in the shadows. But Marquez has never been one to give up. In 2024, he surprised everyone by joining the satellite team Gresini, the first step towards a crazy bet: to return to the top using only the strength of his talent.
A year later, the bet has paid off. Better still, it is overwhelming: 8 victories, 11 sprint, 120 points ahead at championnatAt 32, despite a reconstructed arm, Marc Marquez has regained his former dominance. And his teammate Francis Bagnaia, double world champion MotoGP, in fact the costs, relegated to the shadow of a phenomenon which seems to have become invincible again.
Marc Marquez: Instinct as a Weapon
The secret? Instinct, always. That's what Marquez claims himself. I have always flown by instinct, and I still do. " he recently confided to DAZN. " At 20, you can easily be influenced by statements, criticisms. But it never changed me. Neither my character nor my way of driving. »
This instinctive, almost animalistic style has earned him as much admiration as it has criticism. Some of his rivals consider him too aggressive, some fans still boo him at certain circuits like Mugello, where the resentment from the 2015 Sepang affair has not disappeared. But Marquez does not take offense. On the contrary: " When I am criticized, it motivates me " he says with the smile of someone who transforms adversity into fuel.
The year 2025 could be the year of a historic turning point. With six titles in the premier class, Marc Marquez is not far from Valentino Rossi (7) et Giacomo Agostini (8). If he wins the crown this season, he would equal the Doctor, and naturally become the favorite for 2026, the final year before the great technical upheaval of 2027.
The legend is thus on the march, carried by a man who has never stopped believing in it, even in the darkest moments. Like the greatest wild animals in sport, Marquez He always hunts by instinct. And today, he's looking at the whole pack in his rearview mirror.
