How good has Marc Marquez REALLY been in MotoGP 2024?

[@toddyboy563]

MotoGP deserves more journalism like this! It’s the better sport for fans! You don’t need to love bikes to appreciate the raw talent, competition and race-craft used every race. As far as Motorsport, it’s number one for me

Excellent clip. Feel the same way about Bagnaia. He won the titles where the margin for errors was quite big, given that his rivals also made colossal mistakes. If Marc is on top of his game and Bagnaia still makes these kind of mistakes, I don't see him winning a title next year.

In Sachsenring's trainings he has an unfortunate accident and leaves his teeth literally splattered on the asphalt; they have to place dental pieces. What does Valentino do weeks later? He wears a denture to mock his rival and put psychological pressure on him. Time later Hopkins isn't the same again, he falls into a depression and ends up an alcoholic. 2006, Malaysia: Rossi wins the race, Pedrosa is injured from the previous grand prix due to a fall; has injured knee and ankle. Upon reaching the podium, Pedrosa looks sore. What's Rossi doing? He goes for a chair, passes Pedrosa over the hill, gets to his podium position and puts it there. He takes Capirossi and puts it on top of him, for more inri and mock Pedrosa, who can hardly stand on his feet. 2008: Makes Stoner an illegal interior, gets in the inside of the curve, and isn't punished for it. Then he plays with it and before the final corner slows down the pace, Stoner has to brake abruptly and ends up on the ground. 2010, Motegui: touches Lorenzo, almost runs him off the track and makes him stamp against the wall. Almost cost him the World Cup. 2011 Jerez: Pulls Stoner. The commissioners aren't helping Stoner, they're all going to push Rossi.

Only rider capable of defeating Marc in 2025 is Marc Marquez. If Marc rides within himself and doesn’t crash 25+ times a season he has the title in the bag based on his current form & Ducati experience. That said I can totally see him pushing way too hard, crashing and getting injured again. His body isn’t going to hold up to crashes like it did in 2015. At this point he had a lot of wear & tear and he needs to ride with maturity now that he is dealing with age and past injuries.

[@ianlanford6922]

Because ppl set the bar too high for him. Because, well, he was the one who set the bar soo high in 2019. Sheer dominance that pretty impossible in todays era. He is more or less a messi in motorsport world. Nobody with right mind can say he is average. We can argue that martin or pecco are indeed average because they rode the best machinery on the grid. While marc with lesser machinery, in his rookie year riding duc, with satelite team, able to win races as many as martin. I just hope he is healthy not injured or anything. We need him atleast 5 more years until we found another alien (acosta or alonso maybe) to arise. I dont see motogp will be better without him. It will be downfall only, because theres no drama. Theres no great overtaking. Everybody just shaking hands in the end. And riding without taking a risk on the track. Remember motegi?. Super boring race.

You have to add one more thing. This is a bike that doesn't have much front end. It is very rear dominant.

It is the antithesis of how Marc rides a motorcycle. Be very afraid.

What ever the cause is but, it's fact this year Marc could have been equal at the level of Martin and Pecco. All this caused due to him being too much throwing many races where he could have been on the podium but, falling like he was riding Honda. If those falls were saved and he finished those races he could have been between Martin and Pecco. Today, I watched the Malaysia race where MM93 was running on the 3rd and falls which is exactly he does in the previous race where he falls loosing the 2nd position. Marc has the level to push more then anyone can but, he has developed a bad habit of falling in the podium contention races which is making me as a MM93 fan feeling worse as many time he makes us feels great that he's back in some races and immediately in the next races he just falls or slows down. MM93 you make me feel bad for today's race 😢

[@marceljurgens4167]

I think he is just limit testing a lot at the moment. I dont think his goal has been to be a title contender in 2024 (in the first races i think he wanted to be, but later not anymore). he knew he will have a 2025 ducati next year, so i think he just tried to adapt as much as possible to the ducati rididng style and then limit tested everything out of it. thats also why he fell so much, because he was going for the limit so he knows how to ride next year. Thats just what i think he was doing, because normally he should be smart enough to not go for the limit with safe points. also to mention that he did not even had the top-spec gp23, he had a worse version that pecco had last year. and still he was able to do all that stuff with it. If he can continue riding like that he will be a pain in the ass for pecco next year for sure

A detail that some people are missing, at WDW this past year Pecco and Marc were on the same machinery, and Marc lost.

Earlier this year they were on track with the same spec bike, with their teams on hand, and Marc was middle of the pack while on the same bike. Could Marc have been sand bagging it? Maybe, but I doubt his ego and competitiveness would allow for that. All of this is to say that next year is not the guarantee that many are assuming it to be for Marc. Are the expectations there? Of course, but championships aren’t won on expectations. Another comparison, Rossi came back from a down stint at Ducati, and how was the rest of his career?

Bagnaia only won his second championship because Marquez crashed Martin off the track and as yet, there has been no investigation into the incident and we never even got to see any real footage of it! Someone needs to look into it from outside the sport!

[@maroonmedia2000]

He is good as his bike is. He can dominate in 2025 but, even he is a great rider, it is the bike See Bagnaia, above average rider on the best bike, two time champ. Marquez will eat him alive next year in the Factory team For me, last true champ, a great rider on a not the best bike, was Quartararo in 2021...

MARC MARQUEZ, THE BEST, MOST EXCITING RACER WITHIN MOTOGP! SIMPLY, THE BEST

[@IbojBojje-lc4gt]

Marc was not there thats why he won 2 times the world championship😊

[@Bobby-wn5yr]

lol these comments y’all are fanboying a bit too hard. Good racing is what you’re in for. A cake walk for next year? No chance

[@ROBOTRIX_eu]

[@danielresch8071]

Right now MotoGP isn't as popular as it was but a day will start watching next year for sure and the election going on but M&M is pretty close to being like CC in a woman's basketball league true fast just can't wait till the next race because he's only getting better and better and when he gets the best bike he's going to be untouchable😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ number 9 coming soon to a theater near you 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

[@driaandevilliers2000]

its all if this or if that all purely speculation if he is the GOAT like you all speculate he would have won on the bike he has now. Rossi won the 2004 tile for the first time with Yamaha and the nearest Yamaha was the 7th Rossi was the difference not the bike so if Marc was so good he should have Won this year

[@FlorianKrienzer]

And Marquez won 2019 with Honda in a way that was absolutely dominating everybody, while the nearest Honda was in 9th, not even getting a third of the points Marquez got. Rossi did not win in his later years either. Was he a bad rider. No, of course not, he was awesome. Could he have won on a different bike? Maybe. Speculations are just part of the sport, it is engaging and allows discussion. And I am not disputing any victories of other riders here, they did deserve to win their championships, no doubt, better bike or not, I just enjoy thinking about possibilities.

[@stefanoc3348]

Marc can't go behond the potential of the bike. He will always lose with even a 1% inferior bike. He won 8 title just cause for 8 years his bike was WAY better than other and basically never had real opponents.

[@arekom9990]

🎉❤❤❤😊🎉

[@GregOwens-vh4se]

Too short.

[@jacktorr1507]

He's the best in a winning bike though. But you know age and injuries will catch him anytime soon. Probably cant win on a yamaha

[@davidciesielski8251]

Not a chance... the blue bike gave it to him and last year mr bib gave it to him..... Really not much there.

[@Desmomatschi]

I see that MM93 is an exceptional rider and he even developed as a human these days. People seem to forget that MM93 and Bagnaia too said in interviews that the differences between their Ducatis are marginal. And in 2022 Bagnaia had difficulties with his Ducati because the factory put different pieces on his bike to test them,thus causing crashes for Bagnaia and failing to adapt to the Ducati from the beginning. Nevertheless he won the championship. In 2023 the Ducati had troubles with the Michelin tyres and the front chattering causing sudden front issues in races as we saw. The riders always adapt to their bikes, they get better within the season. And in 2023 no Ducati from the VR 46 team or gresini got updates, in 2024 MM 93 got them. Please try to get backround information before talking about who has the best Ducati at the times. Very good video!

[@miguelcasadoalvaro990]

Va apañao pal año q viene Bagnaia 🫢

[@Bobtek]

Bagnaia's a clown, next year his luck runs out.

[@danielresch8071]

M&M has been beaten both of those guys with the old bike what does that say😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁😁

[@AcmeRocket]

Next year Bezz is gone, Enea is gone, Jorge is gone. No matter who wins, its a joke. All of the competition has been eliminated. The biggest loss of talent and competition from one season to the next, in MotoGP history.

[@maciejrutkowski638]

Did anybody force Martin, Enea or Bezzecchi to leave Ducati? No, they did it on their own and for the fans it’s even better news to have competitive riders on the other manufacturer bikes but some yellow cryers like you, will find a problem everywhere, even if it’s not present.

[@AcmeRocket]

They are gone. Doesn't matter why. The other bikes can't win. All competition gone.​@@maciejrutkowski638

[@alakimac]

I think that was another master stroke by MM93. In getting the factory seat he’s eliminated almost all the competition

[@binoy.bimbisaran]

Jorge riding a GP24 has same wins as Marc, and he is up there with Pecco mainly because of the 7 DNF's pecco had. What did Enea do for 2 years on Factory Ducati? 2023 season was much like Frankie is now. This year isn't much better either because he is fighting with Marc for 3rd in Championship, who is riding a year old GP23 for a 3rd tier Ducati satelite team. And it doesn't look like he will finish ahead of Marc in this battle. Where is Bezz this year? Did he finish ahead of Marc atleast in one race? I mean, we have had 34 races this season but i don't think he finished ahead of Marc even once. Hell, Bezz is getting beaten up by Diggia, who will have a GP25 next season. So its actually better than this year. None of the riders are on the level of Marc! And they are never going to be his competition on same machinery. So your points have no value, and doesn't hold water.

[@AcmeRocket]

@@binoy.bimbisaran he lost bro. And his single season results aren't any better than what Bez did in 23, what Enea did in 22, and what Franky did in 20. Just numbers. Numbers don't lie.

[@Us155f]

A crippled marc about to end the next generation 😂

[@robsnodgrass915]

Eyebrows, please

[@Shifty_Malone]

In '23 it wasn't a new bike/old bike thing. The '23 bike was difficult to ride all year. The '22 bike was more rider friendly. All of the '23 bike riders this year, would be more competitive on the '22 bike vs the '24 bikes. Pecco is right though, it is kind of ridiculous that a Factory bike is equal to Satellite bikes, there should be a step in the spec. Martin is literally downgrading from a Satellite bike to a Factory bike next year and Viñales is happily moving from a Factory bike to a Satellite bike, for some headless reason. Mir's manager refused anything, but a factory bike when Suzuki left and now he's stuck at Honda when he could have been at Trackhouse Aprila and in a box seat for the Factory Aprilia. Next year every manufacturer will essentially have 4 factory bikes. Only Honda and Yamaha should even be able to do that, with their concessions.

[@superswiftest]

MM93 does he speak fluent italian to Frankie and Nadia or spanish ?

[@oskrvlc]

He speaks Italian way better than English

[@dielaughing73]

​@@oskrvlc is it Italian that he, Pecco and Jorge speak before going out to the podium?

[@oskrvlc]

@@dielaughing73 Jorge and Marc are speaking Spanish but they switch to Italian when Pecco gets in the conversation. They didn't really had the need to switch because Pecco can speak Spanish (he answers in Spanish every time he talks to the Spanish journalists on TV) Switching to your interlocutor native language (even if he can understand yours) is a sign of politeness.

[@dielaughing73]

@@oskrvlc yeah I figured.. both languages sound pretty similar to my monolingual ears. I guess most Spanish speakers know Italian too and vice-versa

[@oskrvlc]

@@dielaughing73 not really, but it's true that it's easy to learn another romance language if you already speak one (or two like Marc) Also Martin and Marc are in Italian teams and Pecco was in a Spanish one.

[@Energyzed97]

Marc is consistently reminding us why he is arguably the best rider we’ve ever seen on two wheels. Let’s not forget how many years he rode over the problems with Honda until the injury!

[@brianbowers-x9q]

Another MM93 fan boy who refuses to recognise he's always had and been on the best bike all his career even the 23 bike looks like it's had upgrades

[@damirdamir1180]

Haha... How many races and titles have won other Repsol Honda riders from 2013 to 2019?. Pedrosa won few races, Lorenzo won 0 races on "Repsol Honda, P. Espargaro won 0 races on Repsol Honda...

[@BrandoN-ie1np]

Lucky for him the KTM is the fastest bike next year 💯

[@jamiecottrill7316]

Why do we need to tongue Marquez’s ass even more… He’s obviously an extremely fast rider but it seems that everyone is just trying to put a different spin on something we already know! 🤷 Get over it & just enjoy the racing 👍 I don’t think it will be as clear cut as everyone says next year… Only time will tell.

[@brianbowers-x9q]

Always liked Stoner great guy great racer can ride anything and make it look good. Fed up every one bigging up MM93 when he's on the best bike on the grid the bike he was on Sunday wasn't by a long way slower than the gp24 but lets be honest i think it's had upgrades but all the other manufacturers are by far way under par against the Ducati how would he fare on an Aprilia or KTM mid pack maybe

[@chrisford5296]

He'd be top Aprilia or KTM or Yamaha or Honda. The GP23 is not the best bike on the grid by a long shot. Casey was great though.

[@brianbowers-x9q]

It amazes me these MM93 fan boys won't admit all his championships came because he as always had the best bike that's why he went to Ducati the best bike his 23 bike looks far superior to the other 23 bikes I feel upgrades. When he started in moto gp the rules were 2 yrs in satellite team then you could ride for a factory he came straight I on a Honda factory bike and team the best bike on the grid so was that fair?????

[@dizzy619]

You sir are a deluded rossi bumboy

[@AcmeRocket]

Bezz- 3 wins and 3rd place on a year old Ducati. Enea- 4 wins and 3rd place on a year old Ducati. Franco- 3 wins and second place on a year old Yamaha. All just as good or better yet no praise, nothing special ,

[@fakhriahmad3771]

The different is starting this year, all ducatis gp23 gt the early version. Previous year all gt the final version in early season.

[@AcmeRocket]

​@@fakhriahmad3771year old Ducati. Numbers are measurable. Comparing bike specs is not ( unless you are a Ducati engineer or a MotoGP rider) The point is, his results aren't special.

[@chuza_97]

Bastianini has fallen down. This is a full healthy season on he dominant factory Ducati and he hasnt delivered enough, next to an average rider in Bagnaia. Bezz has been nowhere this season, even falling behin DiGia. Morbido is lucky Rossi likes him, cause he hasnt displayed anything of substance these last 2 seasons

[@AcmeRocket]

@@chuza_97 point is, their results in a single season on a year old bike were just as good or better. Yet no praise or silly excitement . Average results. In the end, Marc lost, just like them.

[@chuza_97]

@@AcmeRocket i wouldnt say no praise. Bastianini got the factory ride over Martin because of that insane Gresini stint Bezz, fighting for the championship last year in his 2nd year in the first half of the season, was talked about a lot. But his last races were bad and so far his performances this year have been mid. But I understand what you mean and there is something there. Its just that Marc is a big face in the sport and when he finally does good outside of that dog of a Honda, ppl watch that
