Marc Marquez’s change in riding style hasn’t gone unnoticed by one MotoGP legend
Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo has suggested that Marc Marquez is starting to ride like him, with a smooth and precise style.
Lorenzo’s own ultra-smooth riding style helped him win three world titles between 2010 and 2015.
Marquez initially had a more aggressive riding style when he entered MotoGP, pushing boundaries and taking risks.
After a serious arm injury in 2020, Marquez has had to adjust his approach, leading to a more calculated and precise riding style that Lorenzo has observed.
Their rivalry in the past transformed into a teammate relationship in 2019 at Honda, where Lorenzo struggled before retiring at the end of the season.
Despite retiring, Lorenzo has stayed connected to MotoGP through various roles like a Yamaha test rider, a YouTube podcaster, and now as Maverick Vinales’ performance coach starting in 2026.
