It doesn’t matter what happens to the end of this season 2025. Marc Márquez, by right, is already probably the best pilot in the history of the MotoGP World Cup. And no, the numbers, for the moment, do not support this theory, although if hypothetically achieved its ninth world champion crown, either this year, or later, it would match in number of titles that for many is from street the best competitor that has passed through the world of speed world championship: Valentino Rossi.
However, last weekend, during the Datar 2025 GP dispute, more than one we have finally glimpsed as Marc Márquez, as if it were a fiction Pokémon (it might seem like a joke, but it is not), he has learned to digievolve Carrer’s career, to become an even stronger adversary in front of the rest of the pilots that make up the current motorcycle grill.
In addition, he has let all of them know without having to mediate a word. Especially to their closest persecutors in the classification. He has returned to give a chair of motorcycling to which he has added ingredients never seen so far, when to pilot and win it was if it was Marc Márquez who was at the controls of the mount that crossed, under the fall of the flag of paintings, in first position.
A Marc Márquez that we did not know so far
In the past, Marc would have tried to impose his rhythm from the first curve, crush anyone who would even approach his rear wheel and ultimately impose his law on the desert track of Losail. But this time not, the Márquez now knows when he plays “start soft” and go up the revolutions of his Desmmosedici V4, depending on the different factors that will determine the final destination of each race.
Not even the back touch by his brother Alex, practically when taking the first curve of the Catarí track, even losing one of the upper fins of his hill, they managed to destabilize or follow the plan drawn from the beginning of the race. Nor does the great departure of Morbidelli that, at times, became more than a second of Marc himself.
Ultimately, an inspired Maverick Viñales seemed to be able to question the seventh victory of the Catalan pilot, something that would not finally happen, as Marc Márquez himself had designed in the initial script of the race, long before the traffic light in charge of marking the exit was put in green.
Qatar has served Marc to redeem himself from his own mistake in Austin and make it more clear than ever, a priori, his only rival this season is himself. Its ability to adapt to each track, make the minimum of possible mistakes and keep the rest of its rivals at bay, will be the three tasks that Márquez must undertake this year to be again world champion again.
From there, with 9 titles in the pocket, probably, put the direct to the World Motorcycling Olympus, the one where only the most special achieve their place for eternity and without expiration date. And no, this is not a numerical issue, not at least exclusively.
We talk about much more than that, where perfection inside a track, at the controls of a motorcycle, becomes a gift with its own identity stamp and with which Marc Márquez still has a wide legacy ahead that certifies, on account of the almost 6 years that he has had to fight along a dark and uncertain professional becoming professional, to be able to reach the glory again.
