The Career

Three Chapters That Defined Marc Márquez

Chapter 01

The Rookie Who Won

Márquez arrived in MotoGP in 2013 already a champion in two classes, and left his first premier-class season as the youngest World Champion in the sport's history at 20. The style that got him there — braking impossibly deep, saving the front with an elbow on the tarmac — rewrote what riders believed a MotoGP bike would tolerate. He defended the title in 2014 and won again in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Chapter 02

The Longest Drought

A crash at Jerez in 2020 broke his right arm and began the longest championship drought of his career. Multiple operations followed, then a bone infection, then a fourth surgery in 2022 to rotate the humerus. He raced through seasons where finishing was the achievement, and in 2024 left Honda after eleven years for a satellite Ducati at Gresini — a deliberate step down the grid to find out whether the speed was still there.

Chapter 03

The Comeback

The satellite year answered the question, and Ducati promoted him to the factory team for 2025. He won the MotoGP title that season at 32 — his seventh in the class and ninth overall, ending a six-year wait and making him the oldest four-stroke-era world champion. It is one of the most complete comebacks the paddock has seen.
