Marc Márquez Alentà(born 17 February 1993) is a SpanishGrand Prix motorcycleroad racerwho races for the satelliteDucatiteamGresini Racing MotoGP.He previously raced forHonda'sfactory teamfrom his MotoGP debut in 2013 until 2023. Born inCervera,Catalonia,Spain, he is nicknamed the 'Ant of Cervera' worldwide (due to his height of 5' 7 "(1.68m), and 'el tro de Cervera' in his hometown, meaning the 'Thunder of Cervera'. He is one of four riders to have won world championship titles in three different categories, afterMike Hailwood,Phil ReadandValentino Rossi,and is one of the most successfulmotorcycle racers of all time,with eightGrand Prix World Championshipsto his name, six of which are in the premier class. Márquez became the third Spaniard afterÀlex CrivilléandJorge Lorenzoto win the premier class title, and is the most successful Spanish rider in MotoGP to date, with 61 wins. In 2013 he became the first rider sinceKenny Robertsin1978to win the premier class title in his first season, and the youngest to win the title overall, at 20 years and 266 days of age.[1]

Márquez is often considered one of the greatest innovators of modern MotoGP racing,[2]due to his comparatively exaggerated cornering technique of leaning so far over the bike, that he seems to be "in constant danger of sliding out".[3]He is the older brother of 2014 Moto3 world champion and 2019 Moto2 world championÁlex Márquez.[4]

Márquez won the2010125cc World Championship,[5][6]the2012Moto2 World Championship,[7][8]and the2013,2014,2016,2017,2018and2019MotoGP World Championships.He became the first rider sinceKenny Robertsin1978to win the premier class title in his rookie season, and the youngest to secure the title overall.[1]In 2014 he defended his title, winning the championship with three rounds to spare,[9]during which he won ten consecutive races. Márquez equalled the all-time Grand Prix record forpole positionsat the age of 23 in 2016.[10]Márquez secured the 2016 title with three rounds to spare atMotegiand sealed the title atValenciain the final round of 2017. He then went on to win the2018title with three races to spare and became the third highest all time Grand Prix winner. He secured the 2019 title with four races to spare at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, marking his 8th World Championship and 6th in the Premier Class. Márquez missed almost all of the compressed and delayed2020season (he completed 26 laps of the first race, before falling) as well as the start of the 2021 season because of a broken right arm sustained in the 2020 season opener.[11]After returning in the2021season, he won three races inGermany,Austin,Misano,and had a further 2nd place inAragon,but due to him missing the opening two, and the last two races of the season, only finished 7th overall.

Career

[edit]

125cc World Championship

[edit]

Born inCervera,Catalonia,Spain, Márquez made his championship debut on 13 April 2008 at the 125cc2008 Portuguese Grand Prixat the age of 15 years and 56 days.[12]Márquez achieved his first podium on 22 June 2008 at theBritish Grand Prix,in just his sixth race in the category, becoming the youngest Spanish rider to take a podium in Grand Prix motorcycle racing.

Márquez at the2010 Dutch TT

For 2009, as a factory KTM rider, he scored another podium with his 3rd place at Jerez, before achieving his first pole position at theFrench Grand Prixat the age of 16 years and 89 days, becoming the youngest Spanish rider to take pole position in a motorcycle racing world championship. He also took pole for the2009 Malaysian Grand Prixbut he retired from both races. His first win came on 6 June 2010 atMugello,and further victories atSilverstone,AssenandBarcelonain the next three races made Márquez the youngest rider to win four successive races.[13]His fifth win in succession at theSachsenringwasDerbi's 100th victory in Grand Prix racing, and Márquez became the first rider sinceValentino Rossiin1997to win five successive races in 125cc racing.[14]

He was less successful in the following races, dropping to third in the standings at one point behindNicolás TerolandPol Espargaróafter being involved in an accident withRandy Krummenacherat the first corner at theAragon Grand Prix.[15]Four successive wins fromMotegionwards had moved Márquez into a 17-point lead over Terol with only one round to go. AtEstoril,the race was red-flagged due to rain with Márquez running second to Terol. When returning to the grid for the second race, Márquez fell on the sighting lap and had to return to the pits. With repairs, Márquez started at the back of the field having not made it out of the pit lane before it closed five minutes prior to the start. Despite this, Márquez recovered to win the race and thus extend his lead before the Valencia finale. His tenth victory of the season moved him to within one of tying the record set by Rossi in 1997.[16]He would fall short of tying it, as he was fourth at the final race inValenciato become the second-youngest World Champion afterLoris Capirossi,winning the smallest category at just 17 years and 263 days.[5][6]

Moto2 World Championship

[edit]
Márquez at the2011 Czech Republic Grand Prix

Márquez moved into the Moto2 class for2011,the first of an expected two-year deal,[17]as the sole rider of the new team Monlau Competición, run by his managerEmilio Alzamora.He finished 21st inPortugal,before taking his first victory in the class at theFrench Grand Prix.[18]At his home race inCatalonia,Márquez finished second behind championship leaderStefan Bradl,before another fall at theSilverstone,having started from his first Moto2 pole position. With Bradl taking his fourth victory in the first six races, Márquez trailed him by 82 points at the end of the weekend.[19]Márquez made a mid-season surge up the championship standings, winning six of the next seven races to move within six points of Bradl in the championship standings.[20]In theJapanese Grand Prix,Márquez took his seventh pole position of the season but finished second toAndrea Iannone,[21]but that finish combined with a fourth place for Bradl, allowed Márquez to take the championship lead by a point.[22]At theAustralian Grand Prix,Márquez was involved in an incident withRatthapark Wilairotduring free practice; Márquez crashed into the back of Wilairot after the session had been concluded, and for riding in an "irresponsible manner", was given a one-minute time penalty onto his qualifying time.[23][24]The penalty ensured Márquez would start the race from last on the grid, but he made his way through the field, eventually finishing the race in third place. Prior to theMalaysian Grand Prix,Márquez confirmed that he would remain in Moto2 for the 2012 season,[25]after rumours of a move into the MotoGP class. Márquez's race weekend was hampered in the opening minutes of the first free practice session, as he crashed on a damp patch of asphalt.[26]After sitting out two further practice sessions, Márquez completed two laps in the qualifying session, but his times were only good enough for 36th on the grid. He did not start the race, as he failed a medical examination prior to the warm-up on race morning.[27]Márquez attended the final race of the season inValencia,in the hope of being fit to compete, but withdrew due to his continued vision problems, giving Bradl the title.[28]

In 2012, Márquez won the Moto2 championship title after a season-long battle with fellow Spanish riderPol Espargaró.A 3rd place for Márquez at the Australian Grand Prix, despite a win for Espargaró[29]was enough to give him his second world title, before moving into the premier class for the2013season.[30]He took his last victory in the class at the Valencian Grand Prix, the last event of the season, despite starting from 33rd on the grid. This performance, which involved overtaking 20 bikes on the first lap alone, became the biggest comeback in the sport's history.[31]He finished the season with nine race wins, and only finished off the podium in three races, setting records for the class that still stand. Márquez's result was enough to giveSuterthe constructors' title for the class.

MotoGP World Championship

[edit]

Repsol Honda Team (2013–2023)

[edit]

On 12 July 2012, it was announced that Márquez had signed a two-year contract with theRepsol Hondateam in MotoGP, replacing the retiringCasey Stonerand joining teammateDani Pedrosa,from2013onwards.[32][33]

Márquez tested theHonda RC213Vfor the first time in Valencia after the end of the 2012 championships lapping just over a second slower than his teammate and compatriot Dani Pedrosa who topped the time sheets.[34]Márquez was again impressive during the first official MotoGP testing at Sepang where he finished the first two days of testing at third position just behind Pedrosa andJorge Lorenzoand ahead ofValentino Rossiin fourth before swapping places with Rossi on the final day.[35]Márquez also did a race simulation during the closing stages of the session and his timings were consistent and phenomenal for a rookie. Márquez continued his impressive form in the private test of Honda at Austin where he topped the timesheets all three days.

2013
[edit]

Márquez started the2013 seasonwith a podium finish inQatar.He qualified sixth and eventually finished third behind Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi.[36]At the second round of the championship at the newCircuit of the AmericasinTexas,Márquez beat his teammate Dani Pedrosa and became the first winner at the new track. In doing this Márquez became the youngest ever MotoGP race winner at 20 years, 63 days, beatingFreddie Spencer's 30-year-old record.[37]

Márquez slipped during the third free practice session without getting injured or damaging his bike and eventually qualified third fastest atJerez.Márquez finished the race in second position behind teammate Dani Pedrosa.[38]AtLe Mans,Márquez took the second pole of his short MotoGP career, 0.03 seconds ahead of Lorenzo. Márquez suffered a bad start to the race and spent many laps in the lower half of the top 10 however by mid-race he began to find his rhythm and progressed forward. Márquez overtookAndrea Doviziosowith only two laps to go in the race to claim his fourth podium finish in as many races, tyingMax Biaggi's record from1998.[39]Márquez endured a tough weekend atMugello.After crashing his Repsol Honda on Friday morning Márquez crashed again on Friday afternoon, he had a third crash on Saturday morning practice but recovered to qualify on the second row for the race. He suffered his 4th crash of the weekend with only 3 laps to go in the race; his first non-finish since joining the premier class.[40]

AtCatalonia,Márquez finished the race in 3rd place.[41]AtAssen,Márquez suffered a huge highside in morning practice causing small fractures in the little finger of his right hand and also his left big toe. He finished the race in 3rd place.[42]AtSachsenring,following injuries to main rivals Pedrosa and Lorenzo, Márquez took his 3rd MotoGP pole position. After an average start he worked his way to the front to lead by the end of lap five and was never again headed despite a strong late race charge from Cal Crutchlow to win by 1.5 seconds.[43]AtLaguna Seca,Márquez replicated the overtake that Rossi made on Casey Stoner at the same corner in 2008 to pass Rossi. He won his third race of the year to extend his championship lead to 16 points over Dani Pedrosa.[44]

AtIndianapolis,Márquez grabbed pole position by 0.5 seconds from Jorge Lorenzo. In the race Márquez made an average get away and dropped behind Lorenzo and Pedrosa. On lap 12 Márquez passed Lorenzo for the lead. Lorenzo and Pedrosa were able to keep pace with Márquez for a few laps but in the final few the gap opened and Márquez took his 4th win of the year by just over 3 seconds.[45]AtBrno,the race saw an intense battle between Márquez and Lorenzo. Lorenzo made a great start off the line and led the race at the first corner. The pair proceeded to swap places on various occasions, with the final pass coming at Turn 3 with just under four laps to go; Márquez became the first rider to win four consecutive races since Valentino Rossi in 2008.[46]

Márquez andValentino Rossiat the2013 British Grand Prix

AtSilverstone,during Sunday morning warm up, Márquez crashed his bike and dislocated his shoulder. The race was a fight between Márquez and Lorenzo in the early laps as they pulled away from the field. In the final laps the two front runners traded places and paint; Márquez passed Lorenzo with only a few corners remaining but was repassed and Márquez finished second.[47]AtMisano,Márquez was atop the standings once again by over half a second over Lorenzo to claim pole position. Márquez finished the race in second place behind Lorenzo.[48]AtAragon,Márquez started from pole for the seventh time in 2013. Again Márquez lost the lead to Lorenzo in the first corner. Márquez found himself 2 seconds behind Lorenzo but soon caught up with Lorenzo and eventually crossed the line over one second ahead of him to record his sixth victory of the season. With four races left, Márquez had 278 points, 39 ahead of second-place Lorenzo.[49]

AtSepang,Márquez took his fourth consecutive pole position. In the race Márquez made another poor start and was fighting with Rossi for third and fourth places in the first laps of the race. Márquez finished the race in second place.[50]AtPhillip Islandin Australia, Márquez was disqualified from the race, reducing his championship lead over Lorenzo (who won) from 43 points to 18 with two rounds to go.[51]AtMotegi,Márquez recovered from a heavy fall on raceday morning to finish second behind Lorenzo.[52]The result trimmed his championship lead to 13 points, meaning a fourth-place finish atValenciawould be sufficient to crown him champion even if Lorenzo won. Márquez started the race on pole, but had a bad start and fell to third. Márquez then let Dani Pedrosa do most of the early attacking on Jorge Lorenzo; Lorenzo then pushed on after a scare to win the race, Pedrosa and Márquez came second and third respectively, which was enough for Márquez to become champion, the youngest in series history.[53]

2014
[edit]

The 2014 season started well for Márquez producing fastest times on all three days of the first Malaysian test. He then suffered a broken right leg and was unable to take part in the second Malaysian test or the Phillip Island tyre test.

Márquez after winning the2014 Grand Prix of the Americas

The first race of the season was held atLosail in Qatar.Márquez progressed steadily through the events practice sessions and showed strong pace on Saturday afternoon to take pole position. During the race he made an average start dropping to 4th place on lap one, Márquez gradually worked his way to the front of the race and enduring a tense battle with Valentino Rossi for the second half of the race, ultimately winning by 0.259 seconds.[54]He also went on to win the next five rounds inTexas,[55]Argentina,[56]Spain,[57]France,[58]andItaly,[59]all from pole position.

At theCatalan Grand Prix,Márquez failed to take pole position – qualifying third after crashing during the session – but after holding off attacks from teammate Pedrosa, and Yamaha pairingJorge Lorenzoand Rossi, Márquez was able to win his seventh consecutive race, extending his championship lead to 58 over Rossi.[60]With younger brotherÁlexwinning the earlier Moto3 race, the Márquez brothers became the first siblings to win Grand Prix world championship races on the same day.[61]The brothers repeated the feat at theDutch TTtwo weeks later.[62]At theGerman Grand Prix,Márquez again won the race, thereby becoming the youngest rider to win nine cnecutive races i in the premier class.[63]

With a tenth successive victory coming atIndianapolis,Márquez became the third rider to achieve such a feat in the premier class, afterMick DoohanandGiacomo Agostini.[64]

Márquez suffered his first defeat of the season atBrno,[65]but won the following race atSilverstone,defeatingJorge Lorenzo.[66]AtMisano,Márquez crashed while battling for the race lead withValentino Rossi;he remounted and – with a last-lap retirement forAleix Espargaró– was able to score one championship point.[67]Márquez and Pedrosa crashed in heavy rain late in the race atAragonand finished 13th[68]and 14th, with Lorenzo winning his first race of the year after he stopped earlier from third position to change to his wet-setup motorcycle.[69]Márquez clinched his second title atMotegiwith three rounds remaining.[9][70]AtPhillip Island,Márquez took his 12th pole position of the season, matchingCasey Stoner's record from2011,but he crashed out while leading the race,[71]his first non-finish since the2013 Italian Grand Prix.AtSepang,Márquez broke Stoner's record, with his 13th pole position of the season and his 50th Grand Prix pole position. He took his 12th win of the season, matchingMick Doohan's record of most premier class victories in a single season, from1997.[72]Márquez's result was also good enough forHondato claim the manufacturers' championship, with a race to spare.[73]At the final race inValencia,Márquez broke Doohan's record, with his 13th win of the season.[74]

2015
[edit]
Márquez at the2015 Catalan Grand Prix

The 2015 MotoGP season started off with Márquez, once again, being the favourite to take the Championship, but he started slowly with a fifth-place finish inQatar,after a mistake at Turn 1 dropped him to the back of the 25-rider field.[75]He won the second race of the season inTexas,his third successive triumph at theCircuit of the Americas.[76]InArgentina,Márquez, started from pole position, and then led the race with a maximum lead of four seconds. However,Valentino Rossiclosed the gap and on lap 22 caught up to Márquez. The two riders made contact at Turn 5 with two laps remaining, with Márquez crashing out of the race to record his first non-finish since the2014 Australian Grand Prix.[77]He finished second behindJorge LorenzoinSpain,despite riding with a fractured finger on his left hand after a dirt-track accident, a week before the race.[78]InFrance,Márquez took his third pole position of the season, but dropped down to seventh place at the start. He overtookCal Crutchlow,who crashed out of the race, and on lap 22, Márquez struggled during a hard battle for fourth place withBradley SmithandAndrea Iannone,who was riding despite his injured left shoulder, and finally Márquez finished in fourth place ahead of Iannone.[79]

Márquez failed to finish the races inItaly[80]andCatalunya,[81]but returned to the podium with a second-place finish atAssen,[82]after a race-long battle with Rossi. Márquez took successive victories inGermany,[83]andIndianapolis,[84]before a second-place finish atBrno.[85]Márquez crashed out atSilverstonein wet conditions,[86]but won atMisano.[87]Márquez crashed out atMotorland Aragon,[88]and a fourth-place finish inMotegiended his hopes of retaining the title.[89]In his 130th start, Márquez achieved his 50th Grand Prix win – becoming the ninth rider to reach that mark, and the youngest to do so,[90]at 22 years, 243 days – with a final-lap pass on Lorenzo at theAustralian Grand Prix.[91]Márquez crashed out inMalaysiaafter a collision withValentino Rossi.The incident was reviewed by Race Direction after the race, where Rossi was given three penalty points – enough to enforce a start from the back of the grid for the final race inValencia.[92]Márquez finished second to Lorenzo in Valencia, with Lorenzo taking the world title.[93]

2016
[edit]

Having started off the year with a third inQatarand a win in flag to flagArgentinadue to tyre problems. Márquez made it two wins in a row with a dominant performance at theGrand Prix of the AmericasinTexaswith 6 second win over Lorenzo to claim an early championship lead.[94]The first European race was held in Jerez in Spain was the first real test of Márquez' new mentality of patience and he proved it by finishing third in his home Grand Prix behind Yamaha men Rossi and Lorenzo. Le Manswas not a good race for Márquez, as his Honda suffered from a lack of acceleration leading him to push in the braking zones to try remain in the podium battle. He ultimately finished thirteenth following a crash withDucati'sAndrea Doviziosoin turn 7 with thirteen laps remaining in the race.

After the bad result inFrance,Márquez and his team worked to improve the results and maintain the leadership. Their work gave them three second places in the next three races, theItalian Grand Prix,Spanish Grand Prix,andDutch TTand first place inGoPro Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschlandat theSachsenring.

After these four good results, he slowed down with a fifth position at theRed Bull RinginAustria,followed by a third position inBrnoand two fourth positions atSilverstoneandMisano.But then came theAragon Grand Prixwhich Márquez felt really comfortable in. He said he thought it suits his riding style better[95]and proved it by winning the race.

Márquez clinched his third MotoGP title and fifth world title overall atMotegi,Japan with three rounds remaining after Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo crashed out of the race. Márquez' team created a T-shirt with the logo "Give me five" to celebrate his fifth world title overall. The 3 last races had been at Australia, Malaysia and Valencia. At theAustralian Grand Prixhe crashed out of the race while leading,[96]he then crashed while chasing the leading trio at theMalaysian Grand Prixin tricky wet conditions but remounted the bike and finished in 11th position adding 5 more points to his points tally.[97]

Márquez finished the 2016 season with a second place at theValencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix,after struggling to get past the likes of Valentino Rossi and Andrea Iannone in the first part of the race. Márquez managed to break away from them in the second half of the race and he began cutting down the gap to the race leaderJorge Lorenzolap by lap which proved futile as the race drew to a close with Lorenzo crossing the finish line a second ahead of him.[98]

2017
[edit]

Márquez started the2017 seasonwith a 4th-place finish inQatar,followed by a crash while leading in Argentina. He took his first win of the year in Texas, followed by 2nd place behind teammate Pedrosa at Jerez. He then suffered a second crash of the season in France, followed by a disappointing 6th-place finish at Mugello, struggling in both races with the Honda's lack of acceleration off the corners. He finished second in Catalunya, despite suffering several crashes through practice and qualifying. He then recorded another podium finish in the Netherlands, beatingAndrea DoviziosoandCal Crutchlowin a close battle at the end of the race.

However, from then onwards fortunes started to swing in Márquez' favor, taking his eighth consecutive victory at theSachsenringin Germany, at the same time taking the lead of the championship. He then scored back-to-back victories in the Czech Republic, after outfo xing his rivals by pitting early for slick tires on a drying track. A week later in Austria he narrowly lost out to Dovizioso in a thrilling race. He then suffered a rare engine failure atSilverstone,while Dovizioso took another victory, leaving the pair tied on points. He then fought back by taking back-to-back wins; first in a wet race in Misano, and then at his home race at Aragón. In Japan, he was again beaten in a last lap fight by Dovizioso, in a similar situation to Austria, but won a week later in Australia, in what many felt was one of the greatest races in recent years, while Dovizioso finished 13th after running off track. Márquez missed out on sealing the title in Malaysia, finishing fourth while Dovizioso won, meaning the title would go to the last round in Valencia. Márquez started the race from pole, but narrowly avoided crashing after a dramatic save at turn one, dropping from 1st to 5th position. However, moments later Dovizioso crashed at turn eight, immediately handing Márquez his 6th world title.

2018
[edit]
Márquez at the2018 San Marino Grand Prix

Márquez dominated the2018 season,in spite of the narrow time margins in the MotoGP field, increasing his number of race wins compared to the previous two championship seasons. He started the year off by narrowly falling short ofAndrea Doviziosooff the final corner inQatar,before a controversial performance resulting in three penalties and causingValentino Rossito crash led to Márquez being stripped of a fifth-place finish inArgentina.Following a grid penalty of three positions for impedingMaverick Viñalescosting Márquez pole position in theUnited States.

Márquez followed that win up by winning atJerez,surviving a high-speed slide following gravel on the track following a crash forThomas Lüthi.He also scored another win atLe Mans.Both wins were his first on the respective circuits for four years and gave him a commanding championship lead. Due to a crash atMugellothat lead dropped, before a 2nd-place finish inCatalonia,and wins atAssenandSachsenringled to the commanding advantage being restored. The Sachsenring was among his most hard-fought in terms of his nine wins on the track, while he led a massive pack at Assen.

After the summer break,Ducatiwon successive races atBrnoand inAustria.Márquez finished third in the Czech event, whereas he narrowly lost toJorge Lorenzoon the final lap in Austria. With the Brno race winner Dovizioso finishing third in Austria, the championship lead remained strong. Following theBritishevent being cancelled due to dangerous track conditions, Ducati took the third consecutive win atMisanowith Dovizioso leading Márquez across the line.

Márquez sealed the championship after three successive hard-fought wins in duels with Dovizioso. The races atAragon,ThailandandJapanall had in common that Dovizioso led from early in the race, until Márquez made successful late passes and held the Italian rider off. In Japan, Dovizioso fell on the penultimate lap trying to catch Márquez to attempt a re-pass, which left him without points and sealed Márquez' title once he dropped back out of the points, with Márquez cruising home for his third consecutive win and eighth overall. With three rounds to spare, Márquez reached his fifth overall MotoGP title, and sealed a third title in a row, the first rider to do so sinceValentino Rossiwon five in a row in the early 2000s.

He qualified on pole position inAustralia,but in lap 7 he was overtaken byAndrea DoviziosoandJack Miller,and three laps later the rear end of Márquez' bike was struck byJohann Zarco,which caused Zarco to crash and Márquez seat to malfunction, ending his race. InMalaysia,he started on seventh place, but took a ninth victory after race leaderValentino Rossicrashed out in a close battle with Márquez, who had chased him down to just a few tenths of a second, finishing only in 18th place. However, at the final race of the season atValencia,he crashed out of the race having chosen harder wet tyres than the opposition on the soaked track.

At the end of the season, Márquez' MotoGP victory total, 44, placed him in the top five in wins all time and second for Honda in the premier class.[99]

2019
[edit]

Recovering from a shoulder surgery, Márquez had a compromised pre-season, but still managed to take theQataropener to the final corner, where he ultimately fell short to Dovizioso for a second consecutive time. InArgentina,Márquez completely dominated the race from start to finish, cruising to victory with a sizeable margin. While leading in theUnited Statesfor a seventh consecutive season, Márquez suddenly crashed out, attributed to a problem with the engine brake in heavy braking zones.[100]Márquez avenged the crash by reclaiming the title lead with a composed win atJerez,where he led from start to finish. He then won inFrance,pulling away after an early fight for position up front withJack Miller.

After having to settle for second atMugelloin a three-man battle withDucatiduoDanilo Petrucci,who won the race and Dovizioso, Márquez narrowly escaped the pile-up triggered byJorge Lorenzolosing the front end at the hairpin inBarcelonaon the second lap through having overtaken Dovizioso seconds before the impact (involving Vinales, Dovizioso and lastly, Valentino Rossi, all felled in the same accident). With his four closest rivals being taken out at once, Márquez controlled the race and won with a sizeable margin, his second career win at his home region's Grand Prix. He further increased his title lead through a second-place finish atAssen,where he finished second behindMaverick Viñales,who was 100 points adrift in the standings going into the race, whereas the closer title rivals all had difficult races. Márquez fully dominated theSachsenringround for his tenth consecutive win in all categories on the circuit, sealing his fifth win of the season and a commanding title lead over the summer break.

Márquez took his 50th career MotoGP win at theCzechround after a pole position by 2.5 seconds in tricky half-wet conditions and leading the race from start to finish.

Márquez won his 6th premier class championship and 8th world championship after winning a last lap battle withFabio Quartararoin the 2019 Thailand MotoGP at the Buriram International Circuit.[101]Márquez closed out the season in commanding fashion, winning three of the four final races after his championship had been sealed. In the penultimate round, however, he did injure his other shoulder in qualifying. He recovered to finish second in the race, but required post-season surgery once more.[102]Márquez ended the season with 12 wins and 420 points, placing him 151 points ahead ofAndrea Dovizioso.This meant Márquez had more than six race wins worth of points championship margin.

2020
[edit]

In the pre-season, Márquez signed a new four-year deal with Honda, extending his stay with the marque until the end of 2024.[103]This unusually long contract took Márquez out of the market for the normal bi-annual contract cycle, and also for the 2023 season. In the first round of the championship in Jerez, he fell off his bike while chasingFabio Quartararofor the lead of the race. The fall broke thehumerusin his right arm and he did not finish the race, which was won by Quartararo. Márquez returned to Jerez for the Andalucía GP, only a few days after his first surgery, on 21 July 2020, to repair his broken humerus.[104]He participated in FP4 of the Saturday of the race weekend, only to declare that he had too much pain in his recently injured arm.[105]He withdrew from the GP, as Quartararo went on to win again. Márquez missed the rest of the year, and the first two races of the next season.

2021
[edit]

Márquez was expected to make his return in 2021. After missing the opening two races held in Qatar, he announced his return ahead of the Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimão, ending in a seventh place, taking nine points. After a ninth place finish in Jerez, Márquez suffered three consecutive DNFs (including one in Le Mans, where he had found himself leading the race in rainy conditions). For the German Grand Prix, Márquez qualified on the second row. In the race, he got into the lead in the early laps and held onto it, to take his first win in 581 days, and his 11th consecutive win at the Sachsenring. Márquez followed this up with two point scoring finishes in Assen and Austria, a 2nd place in Aragón, a 4th place in Rimini, and then consecutive wins atAustinandMisano.[106]Despite his two wins, he was eliminated from the championship contention, and so he sat out the final two races of the season in Portimao and Valencia, choosing to focus on the total rehabilitation for next season. Márquez still ended the year with four podiums, three of which were victories, 142 points, and 7th in the rider's championship. During the 2021 season he crashed a total of 22 times in 14 races.[107]

Márquez in 2022

At the first race of the season atLosail,Márquez finished in fifth place.

During practice for the second GP of the season, the Indonesian Grand Prix atMandalika,Márquez crashed three times in practice. After a fourth crash, a violenthighsideduring a warm-up session prior to the race,[108]he was rushed to hospital. He was uninjured but declared unfit for the race. After further checks in Spain he was diagnosed withdiplopia,a condition he had suffered with before. His absence from the third race of the season, the Argentine Grand Prix, was covered by Honda test riderStefan Bradl.[109]Márquez was later sidelined indefinitely beginning with the Catalan round, after having a fourth surgery on his right humerus at theMayo Clinicto correct a 30-degree rotation of the bone.[110][111]He was replaced for all races by Honda test riderStefan Bradl.[112][113]Despite missing 5 of 11 races, Márquez remained the top Honda rider in the standings going into the season's summer break. Márquez returned to racing at the Grand Prix of Aragon, but championship leader Fabio Quartararo crashed into the back of Márquez, taking Quartararo out of the race, followed by Marquez colliding with Takaaki Nakagami due to Quartararo's bodywork trapped in a wheel, both retiring. A week later he would achieve the 91st pole position of his career at the Grand Prix of Japan in wet conditions, after almost three years without a pole. He finished the race in 4th. He would later achieve the feat of 100 podiums in the premier class at the Australian Grand Prix, taking Honda's second podium of the year.

2023
[edit]

Márquez stayed with theRepsol Hondateam for the 2023 season. At the opening race in Portugal, he took pole position and a 3rd place finish in the first ever MotoGP Sprint Race. However in the main race, he crashed intoMiguel Oliveira,receiving a contentious penalty that the Honda team challenged. Márquez was injured ruling him out of competing at the second race in Argentina, and the third in the United States.[114]Márquez missed the fourth race in Spain, where his race-slot was taken over byIker Lecuonaas a nominated replacement rider.[115][116]

Márquez' penalty was unable to be imposed due to his non-appearance at races, and was referred to the MotoGP Court of Appeal,[117]after which it was delayed.[118]

The Court of Appeal rejected the race organiser's attempts to impose a sanction on Márquez and dismissed the case, after which he returned to racing at the French GP held over 13/14 May.[119][120]At Mugello, Márquez qualified in P2 before claiming P7 in the sprint, after being pushed wide in a racing incident with Jack Miller.[121] [122]He crashed out of the main race while chasing Luca Marini for P3.[123] At the second round after the summer break at the2023 Austrian motorcycle Grand Prix,Márquez ended his 7-race long streak of non-finishes in main races, finishing in 12th place.

On 4 October 2023, Honda announced that they had prematurely terminated their contract with Marc Márquez by mutual agreement, and he would be leaving the team at the end of the season, joining the Gresini Racing MotoGP team.[124]

Personal life

[edit]

Although Márquez has won several championships, he has always turned down using the number 1 as a racing number, favouring his #93 – which is the year of his birth. The 93 is displayed with white text and a red background on his bike and in official merchandise, being compatible with Honda's red-orange-navy blue livery. Márquez' father Julià has followed him around the world in his team garage and is a permanent fixture in the Grand Prix paddock, while his mother's appearances are rare. His younger brotherÁlex Márquezis also a motorcycle racing world champion, having won theMoto3class in 2014 and theMoto2class in 2019. The duo became the first pair of brothers to win road racing world championships the same season and repeated the feat again in 2019.[149][150]Five years earlier, Márquez jokingly referred to him preferring bikes over girls in a 2014 interview, but conceded it was a "difficult question" and also added that in spite of him being unafraid on a bike, he'd never go out on a boat at sea.[151]Aside from his native tongues ofCatalanandSpanish,Márquez is a fluent speaker ofEnglishandItalian.He lives in his home town of Cervera, with his website citing "training opportunities" on dirt bikes in the location as "ideal".[152]His official fanclub is also located in Cervera, chaired by his uncle Ramón, adjacent to an exhibition at the town museum where memorabilia including championship-winning bikes are displayed. Márquez is also involved with several charities.[153]

He is in a relationship with Gemma Pinto.[154]

Márquez holding his helmet with the ant

Marquez motif since 2012 has been the Ant. This can be seen on various gloves, helmets and pit boards he and his team uses. The reasoning behind this has been when he started out riding motorcycles, his size was diminutive that the team had to add ballast to his bikes to compensate for his lack of weight. Therefore, his team nicknamed him an ant for the comparison of the animal which is so small but has the strength to carry 100 times as much as its body weight.[155]

As of October 2018 on the day of his fifth MotoGP title, Márquez had close to 4 million Facebook followers, being one of the largest motor racers and Spanish athletes on the platform.[156]ARoman Catholic,Márquez along with four other MotoGP riders metPope Francisat theVaticanin September 2018.[157]Márquez is a fan of football clubFC Barcelona,and has visited the club and its first team in the past.[158]

Ant of Cervera

Márquez was the subject of the 2023 docuseriesMarc Márquez: ALL IN,a five-episode series byPrime Videowhich details Márquez's struggles to return after his career-halting injury.[159][160][161]
