| Marc Marquez Dominates MotoGP Germany 2025 but Says He Was Still Holding Back on Full Power. |
Marc Marquez is on fire this season. After totally owning the German Grand Prix last weekend, the Ducati star now leads the 2025 MotoGP standings by a massive 83 points. And get this—he claims he still wasn’t pushing at 100 percent. Seriously.
Even with the unpredictable weather all weekend, Marquez walked away with another sprint and main race double. That’s his fourth in a row and his seventh overall this year. The guy is just on another level right now.
During the main race at Sachsenring, he crossed the finish line more than six seconds ahead of everyone else. Just the day before, he admitted he had pushed a bit too much chasing the sprint win in the rain. But in the dry conditions on Sunday, it was total domination.
Some MotoGP insiders think we haven’t even seen the full power of Marquez yet. Jordan Moreland from the Crash MotoGP Podcast said it’s like Marquez has two voices in his head. One says “go for it” and the other says “take it easy.” And this race weekend showed exactly that kind of balance. On Friday, he didn’t even bother using fresh tires in practice for a hot lap, but his time on used tires was still good enough for third. That tells you he was already planning ahead for the dry race on Sunday.
On Saturday, even though he didn’t need to win the sprint, he still went for it—and later kinda scolded himself for taking the risk. But come on, how do you hold back when you know you’ve got that much control over the track?
Peter McLaren, editor at Crash MotoGP, said Marquez was never really challenged in the 30-lap race. He even questioned whether we’ve actually seen what Marquez is fully capable of. According to him, when the race started and Marquez took the holeshot into Turn 1, that was basically game over. He looked totally calm and in control. McLaren called it the dream combo—rider, bike, and track—all just working perfectly together.
And yeah, Marquez is not acting cocky about it. In the press conference, he gave props to his rivals and admitted that winning in MotoGP is never easy. Still, he made it look effortless. The way he handled the weekend made it clear—he’s in unstoppable form.
Lewis Duncan, senior journalist at Crash, added that Marquez has clearly fixed the mistakes he made at the beginning of the season. Back then, he was dropping big points due to small errors, and he owned up to that. But since the Aragon GP, he’s cleaned it all up. He’s been through all kinds of track and weather conditions and stayed sharp.
At Mugello and Assen, Marquez was seriously pressured from behind, but he never broke. That shows just how much he’s learned. Four back-to-back sprint and grand prix wins in one season? That’s unheard of in the current MotoGP era. Just think about it—last year at this point, Jorge Martin had only won twice. It really puts Marquez’s streak into perspective.
Next up is Brno, a track the riders haven’t raced on in years. It’s gonna be a big test, but based on what we’ve seen, it’s hard to imagine anyone stopping him. He’s not just fast—he’s smart, calculated, and playing the long game.
So yeah, if you thought Marquez was already giving it everything, think again. He’s winning races with style and strategy, and apparently still has something left in the tank. Now that’s scary.
