How Marc Marquez can equal Valentino Rossi in the MotoGP GOAT debate in Japan
Marc Marquez has the chance to win the 2025 MotoGP world championship for the first time with Ducati at the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi this weekend.
After announcing his departure from the factory Honda squad in 2023, Marquez is now back in Japan facing his first match point in the title race with Ducati.
He leads the championship by 182 points from his younger brother Alex Marquez, making it a battle between the two siblings for the title.
Marc Marquez needs to outscore Alex Marquez by just three points this weekend to secure his seventh premier class world title and ninth across all classes.
If he manages to do so, he will equal the number of titles held by the legendary Valentino Rossi.
