Marc Marquez expressed his preference for being “pessimistic” about his chances of winning the MotoGP title in 2025, despite leading the standings by 83 points over his brother Alex Marquez. Marquez dominated another weekend at Sachsenring, marking the track as crucial for his success and clinching victory for the ninth time in the premier class. His superb performance was highlighted by a seven-second gap due to crashes at Turn 1, possibly influenced by the wet-to-dry conditions affecting grip and tire choices. Marquez credited his success to his comfort at the track and controlled approach to manage tires throughout the race. Surpassing Giacomo Agostini in all-time race victories, Marquez aims to continue enjoying his success and challenge Valentino Rossi’s record of 89 wins, staying focused despite being halfway through the season and adopting a pessimistic outlook to maintain concentration. His brother Alex being his closest rival in the championship has also helped him stay motivated and focused on securing his ninth world championship title.
