P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marc Marquez is already set to enter the 2025 MotoGP season as a presumptive joint favourite for the title – at the very least – but back-to-back grand prix wins on his year-old Ducati mean he could still have a role to play in 2024, too
Marc Marquez is a key contender for the 2025 MotoGP title, showcasing his potential with consecutive wins on a year-old Ducati, hinting at a strong role in the 2024 season as well. However, with a considerable points gap to the leader, his primary role in 2024 appears to be disrupting the title fight rather than being a direct threat. Marquez’s reputation for intense point-scoring runs has historically made him a formidable opponent, although the competition has evolved since his last title win in 2017. Present rivals Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia present a consistent challenge, with strong qualifying and race finishes that are difficult to match consistently. Despite Marquez’s recent improvements and victories, overcoming his competitors will require addressing his own errors and staying fast throughout the season.
