| Marc Marquez Is Making 2025 His Most Legendary MotoGP Season Ever. |
Marc Marquez is on a roll, and it’s getting harder to deny that 2025 might just be the best season of his MotoGP career. Yeah, it might sound a bit early to say that, but let’s be real—at halfway through this 22-round season, the guy is on fire.
Everyone kinda expected Marquez to crush it at Sachsenring. That track is basically his playground. He’s won there almost every time he’s raced, except last year in 2024, when he still managed to finish second even after breaking a finger during practice and starting 13th on the grid. Total beast mode.
The Sachsenring layout just fits his riding style like a glove. Left-hand corners? Smooth flowing sections? That’s all Marquez. He literally said after the race that he was just “flowing” out there. But don’t think it was an easy weekend. Saturday was a mess with non-stop rain that wiped all the rubber off the track. In the sprint, he messed up Turn 1 from pole, dropped to fifth, and had to go full send to grab the win on the final lap. He got the 12 points, but even he admitted he pushed too hard. Lesson learned—luck doesn’t always show up when you need it.
By Sunday, the track was still kinda slippery. Out of 18 riders, only 10 finished the race. That’s how brutal it was. Turn 1 became the danger zone. Marquez kept his cool, stayed laser-focused, and dodged the chaos behind him. Big names like Di Giannantonio and Bezzecchi? Gone in a flash.
That win gave Marquez his fourth straight sprint and grand prix double. That’s 69 wins in the premier class and puts him second on the all-time list. Oh, and let’s not forget he now has an 83-point lead in the standings. He could literally skip the next two races and still be number one.
Over the last four rounds, he’s faced different tracks, different weather, all kinds of weird situations—and guess what? Perfect score every time. What we saw in Germany feels like a turning point. At this stage, Marquez doesn’t even need to push to the limit anymore. He’s in control.
And check this—he didn’t even top Friday’s practice session. Di Giannantonio smashed the lap record, while Marquez was chilling in third. Why? Because he was playing the long game. He didn’t even go for a soft-tyre hot lap. Instead, he focused on setting up his race pace using the medium rear tyre, since that’s what everyone would use in the main race. Smart move.
By lap two on race day, he was already pulling away. Lap six? He was a full second ahead. Before Di Giannantonio crashed on lap 18, Marquez had a 3.2-second lead. He wasn’t even trying to break lap records. His best lap was a 1m20.704s, but he mostly stayed in the 1m21s just cruising, managing his lead like a pro.
He said he wasn’t cruising, though. He made it clear that even if it looked easy, he was staying fully focused. And yeah, maybe it looked like he had another gear in reserve, but he wasn’t just riding around with one hand. He was just that in sync with the bike and the track.
What makes this season so wild is how consistent he’s been. He’s already had seven perfect 37-point weekends from 11 rounds. For context, Jorge Martin had only one like that all of last season. Bagnaia? Just three back in 2023 when he won the title. Marquez has 10 sprint wins so far this season, breaking Martin’s old record of nine. He’s got seven grand prix wins, which already puts him ahead of what most title contenders had in past seasons.
He’s also averaging 31.3 points per round. That’s insane. Martin averaged 25.4 last year, and Bagnaia was at 24.3 in 2023. Even if you only count the grand prix races, he’d still be leading by 49 points. Only the sprints? Still ahead by 34.
Right now he’s sitting at 344 points, which is 69 more than what Bagnaia had at this point in 2024 and 84 more than in 2023. To compare, Marquez’s previous best season was 2019, when he won 13 races and ended up 151 points clear in the standings. At the same stage back then, he had fewer wins than now and just 15 more points.
That’s why people are saying 2025 might actually top 2019. And what makes it even crazier? Marquez is 32 years old and still going strong. After that major arm injury in 2020, people thought he might never be the same. But he adapted, changed his style, got on the Ducati, and just kept winning.
Let’s not forget, legends like Valentino Rossi won his last title at 30. Jorge Lorenzo retired at 32. So what Marquez is doing right now? It’s rare. He’s not just hanging on—he’s leading the charge.
He recently hit his 200th MotoGP race and celebrated with a win. That says it all. He’s not slowing down. He’s still hungry, still loving the ride, and as long as he’s enjoying it, he’s going to keep pushing.
So yeah, 2025 isn’t just another good year for Marc Marquez. It’s turning into his masterpiece.
