Marc Márquez has held MotoGP under his control since he arrived on this starting grid in 2013. The 2015 season was only an incident in a journey made of titles and the latest of which is already looming for this weekend in Thailand. A merciless series which does not seem ready to end, because the phenomenon is only 26 years old. When will he let go? Max Biaggi has his idea on the matter. And that’s not really reassuring!

It is an acquired and recognized fact: Marc Márquez dominates the World Championship MotoGP outrageously. In Aragon, the Repsol Honda rider celebrated his 78ème victory during his 200ème Grand Prix. At 26 years old, Marc Márquez is inexorably on its way to its eighth absolute title. In Buriram, he will only need two points more thanAndrea Dovizioso on October 6 to win his sixth MotoGP crown.

On the eve of this realization, a question arises: how long Márquez will he win again? Incidentally, in Aragón, he celebrated his 200th Grand Prix in a beautiful way with a 78rd victory, i.e. a success rate of 39%.

Max Biaggi answers this question: “ until he decides to step aside and do something else. » Which is hardly reassuring for the competition! “ Today he manages to drive in different ways, depending on the situation and the track, and over a season he is unbeatable. Álex Rins and Andrea Dovizioso managed to beat him, but he is the strongest over an entire season » underlined the four-time 250cc world champion in an interview with Motosprint.

Since Márquez moved up to the premier category in 2013, only one MotoGP title escaped him. For the benefit of Jorge Lorenzo in 2015. The nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi won his eighth world title at the age of 29 during the 2008 season. The same year, the “Doctor” crossed the 200 Grands Prix mark. At this stage of his career, the Italian had won 91 Grand Prix victories, i.e. a rate of 45,5%. However, the Spaniard reached the milestone three years younger.

« Marc's entry into MotoGP was incredible, unprecedented " said biaggi. “ He won ten consecutive races in 2014, and no one had done such a thing in the past. He arrived in MotoGP as a veteran, with incredible maturity. I don't see any resemblance to anyone. Marc writes a page in the history books of motorcycle sport that is different from all the others »
