Marc Marquez says “your body knows” as he heads to Motegi with his first MotoGP title chance since 2019.
In 2019, Marc Marquez is heading to a MotoGP event with the possibility of being crowned world champion for the first time. After a challenging six years filled with injuries, surgeries, and struggles with uncompetitive machinery, he is on the verge of a remarkable comeback. Despite moments when he considered retirement, recent moves to Gresini have paved the way for his ninth world title shot. With a significant 182-point lead, only his younger brother, Alex, remains in the championship race. As the title fight is essentially over mathematically, Marquez acknowledges the tension surrounding the upcoming event but is determined to maintain his focus and competitive spirit. The focus remains on winning rather than just accumulating points, with Alex aiming to secure a history-making Marquez one-two in the final standings.
