More history beckons for Marc Marquez as MotoGP returns to Czechia
This weekend, MotoGP will be making its return to Czechia and Brno for the first time since 2020, setting the stage for Marc Marquez to potentially make more history during this season.
The eight-time world champion is currently in top form as he heads to the Czech Grand Prix, holding a commanding 83-point lead in the standings following his double victory at the Sachsenring last weekend.
Marc Marquez clinched his fourth consecutive sprint/grand prix double and his seventh victory of the season overall at the German Grand Prix, bringing his career premier class win count to 69 – the second highest of all time, trailing behind only Valentino Rossi’s 89 wins.
By winning at Sachsenring, Marquez also broke the record for the most sprint wins in a season since the new era began in 2023, securing 10 wins from the first 11 rounds.
During this weekend’s Czech Grand Prix, Marquez has the potential to make even more history if he triumphs in Sunday’s race at Brno, aiming to secure his fifth grand prix victory in a row, an accomplishment no Ducati rider has achieved before.
Additionally, Marquez could achieve a streak not seen since the 2019 season and potentially secure his fourth win at the Czech Grand Prix, having missed the event in 2020 due to injury when Brad Binder claimed KTM’s and the Austrian manufacturer’s maiden victory at Brno.
Furthermore, Ducati has the opportunity to extend its podium streak to 78 this weekend, matching its own record with another rostrum lockout similar to the last Sunday’s performance in Germany, aiming to reach 83 consecutive podiums to equal Honda’s all-time best set between 1993 and 1999.
