Marc Marquez is MotoGP champion again. How does his first title with Ducati compare to his six with Honda?
Marc Marquez clinched his seventh MotoGP world championship title and ninth in grand prix racing with five rounds remaining, a feat that seemed inevitable since his debut season on a factory Ducati. Comparing this accomplishment to his six championships with Honda raises the question of their significance.
The ranking of Marquez’s MotoGP titles from worst to best begins with 2017, a shaky victory despite the convincing 37-point lead in the final round. Despite facing rough challenges from rivals like Vinales and Dovizioso, Marquez managed to secure the title. 2018 followed with a more forgettable title marked by memorable moments like the Argentinian Grand Prix incident.
In 2016, Marquez rebounded from a challenging previous year, showcasing his strategic prowess and outperforming competitors on the new Michelin rubber. These victories demonstrate Marquez’s evolution as a rider and his ability to adapt to changing circumstances on the track.
