Marc Marquez's INCREDIBLE Ducati GP23 advantage 📈

[@tonyb9735]

Of the current grid, he's THE best, and by a long way. The GP23 should not be mixing it with the GP24. No other rider can make it do so. Ducati have the raw numbers, that's why they dropped Jorge Martin, they could see just how good he is.

[@RacingEnthusiastt]

@@johntarenidis9338 oh! not again. he's got skill but don't compare him to Marc yet. if anything, Acosta is crashing like crazy in races. sure, he's great but stop bringing him everywhere. he's not that good till now, not to the level of equalizing him to Marc.

[@johntarenidis9338]

@TejoVinay never compared him to Marc, I just said he has raw talent.

[@rauly93]

Marc has absolutely demolished the other GP23s, in his first year on a Ducati. He has more points than the next 2 GP23 riders combined, one of which finished 3rd in the championship last year, 138 points behind Bagnaia, and the performance of the bikes back then were much closer between the GP22 and GP23. So the fact that Marc is this close this year with all the disadvantages he has, is incredible. Wait till he gets equal machinery next year, with a years experience on the Ducati behind him, he'll dominate easily. I cannot wait to see it! No more being held back by old machinery, or downgrades such as the recent flywheel downgrade on his bike. He'll have the full backing of Ducati, who will be more than happy to see him win over and over. I'm not sure Bagnaia will be able to deal with the consistency of Marc, and he'll be pushed harder than ever. Marc makes great riders look ordinary as team mates.

[@damirdamir1180]

[@tonyb9735]

"UUndoubtelly one of the greatest riders of all time" That became apparent right back in his first season oin MotoGP. I had never seen anybody so consistently so close to the edge, his bike control that season was from another planet. I've been watching MotoGP since the days of Spencer and Lawson, and I have never seen anything like it, watching him actually frightened me. It felt like only a matter of time before had a big, big off. Over the coming years, we learned that riding at that level is just what Marquez does. Of course, he did eventually have that big, big off. I thought that might slow him down, make him more cautious, but even if it has, he's still faster than anybody else on equal machinery.

[@larryegilman1]

@@CrashMotoGPI mean pecco and Martin are definitely up there as well

[@damirdamir1180]

​@@CrashMotoGP We had 32 races this season, 16 main races and 16 sprints. Marc was the fastest GP23 in 31 of 32 races , only in Indonesia on sunday Bezecchi was faster than Marc, he was like 2 seconds ahead when Marc had that engine problem. And Pecco lost so many times this year against other GP24's and even against Marc on GP23. Last year he lost many times against Bezecchi, Alex and DiGa, guys who have 0 chance against Marc. I think Bagnaia's level is not good enough to beat Marc on same bike.

[@sabref4i290]

[@cryogeneric]

This is exactly what I was thinking. Dovi has said publicly that he still believes Marc isn't quite riding the Ducati the way it needs to be. If Marc can continue to refine his riding style to better fit the 2025 Ducati's strengths, you'd have to wonder if he might runaway with the championship.

[@AjmerSingh-go1ci]

I have watched Marc Marquez from his very first race on Gp in 2013. His riding and tenacity is second to none and is truly the goat whether he wins a seventh title or not. The best rider to ever grace Moto Gp. He is a once in a lifetime rider for me, hope he carries on riding competitively for at least 3-4 years minimum.

[@AR-MM93]

This is how he made difference on Honda too... GP23 is no more Marc's tailor made but still he thrashed rest of GP23s with more than double points

[@PacificPlace-qv1bu]

They don’t call Marc a generational talent for nothing. Very few riders get that title bestowed upon them. That’s why Rossi was scared of him, they were the same generational talent, just from different generations.

[@fordj7516]

[@romelvillanueva5206]

So satisfied with what he has achieved. More than I expected so amazed

[@sburns2421]

I actually think many people expected more from his season, but the GP24 is clearly better in every way with no weak spots, and Pecco/Martin/Bastianini are fantastic riders. Not sure anyone expected the new bike to be that much better than last year's model.

[@iwasthere228]

This is the last best year for Pecco to win the title. No hate, just saying it. He can't survive with too many mistakes when you have Marc as a team mate. You can see he is laughing enjoying bla bla bla...But the demon inside Marc must be burning. He will unleash it in the 25 year and Gigi knows it better than anyone. Thats why he sacrificed a satlite team and 2 good riders for 93. Imagine giving a GP25 to Marc at Gresini, he will take the the title away from the factory Ducati. Gigi made the right call.

[@mignik01]

In main races he hasn't finished outside the top 4. One crash on his own. One clash with Bagnaia. One tyre pressure penalty (where he finishes 4th on the road) and one engine blow up. When he finished, he's finished in top 4 in a normal race. Which is incredible in a season of mistakes.

[@Us155f]

Pedrosa better than pecco, especially considering Marc was a rookie and Dani had 7 years experience at that point

[@sburns2421]

Rins fluke win aside last year, no other Honda rider were usually within 10 places of Marquez last year. He would be near the top five and the race would have a Honda caboose of the other riders. It took courage to leave the team (and the money) early. In the end he made it obvious to Honda that what they are doing isn't working, their humiliation is their own doing. I don't think you would see the technical personnel changes at Honda had he stayed this year.

@@Us155f Pedrosa was already past his prime when Marquez came into the series.

Assuming Pecco wins the title this year, that is 3. if he can beat Marquez even once for another in 2025 or 2026, you have to consider Bagnaia among the greats like Lawson, Doohan, Stoner, Roberts, Rainey.

[@binoy.bimbisaran]

Pecco isn't the strongest teammate of Marc, it was Lorenzo. 5 time world champion. Everyone predicted it will be epic in 2019 when they became teammates, we know how one sided that turned out to be. Agreed that, it was Lorenzo who had to adapt that time to a new team but Marc is no Lorenzo as he has already proven this year, he can adapt faster. I honestly don't think it is going to be a Senna Prost situation next year. Yes, Pecco is a very good rider but he isn't a talent like Marc. No GP23 rider has beaten Marc in a race this year, and these are the riders who have beaten Pecco last year. Their level seems to be quite similar, whereas Marc is on a entirely different level. I see a Marc Vs Pedrosa happening all over again 2025. Pecco probably will beat Marc on few occasions, but that will be it. We wont get to see a Championship fight like we are having now, unless KTM or Aprilia improves a lot.

Marc is 31:1 this season against other GP23 riders. Only in Indonesia Bezecchi was faster, he was like 2sec ahead when Marc retired. In his whole MotoGP career (2013-2024) Marc was least than 10 times slower than his team mates/guys on same bike in a race.Bagnaia was only in 2024 10+ times slower than other GP24 bike.

[@mariusmarais9750]

From what I saw the past few years, I will make the following statements: 1. Only Martin, Fabio and Binder will stay with Marc if they all on the exact same bike, I do not say they will beat him every time, I say they the only riders that can stay with him. 2. I am sorry but if Pecco must ride any of the last 3 years Hondas, he will not beat Mir on any of that Hondas. 3. Again I am sorry, but if Pecco rides any of the last 3 years Yamahas he will not beat Fabio or Rinse on the same Yamaha. 4. Then I do not down grade Jack Miller as person - but racing wise Brad Binder beat him hands down the past 3 years and beat him by a mile. 5. Alex Marquez DOES NOT deserve a ride in the Moto GP line up. 6. Marc Marquez only weak point - Development - he can not develop a racing bike with out a good engineer ( As was Rossi when he was with Jeremy Burgess and Doohan who only had Jeremy Burgess - Never under appreciate what the value was of Burgess and Hernandez ) Moto GP and Super Bike racing = 3 roles : the Rider the Bike the Engineer. If one element is off, the rider becomes only a spot on the starting grid.

You can tell that Ducati has been focusing on him a lot. They're paving the way for his factory bike season. Even with the recent events with Ducati taking back the improved handlebar under suspicion that it might have had anything to do with Marquez last crash. Bezzechi for instance was doing much better with it, he really improved this late stage of the season. Overall I still think Martin should get to team up with Bagnaia.

[@Rascallucci]

It was made clear in the get-go that Pecco asked for a bike (GP24) that has a much bigger performance margin over the old bike as he was unhappy with how close the GP22 was to the GP23 from the year before. This was confirmed by Gigi during preseason testing and later by Claudio. No doubt Marc performed miracles on the GP23, but once it became clear that the GP24 is considerably better than the GP23, I have since resided to waiting and looking ahead to the 2025 season when Marc will be able to get on the same factory machine. So, 2025 here we come!

[@sburns2421]

Not sure it works that way. Ducati uses the experience from the previous year and builds the best they can. Pecco doesn't get to say "guys work harder!' My take is the GP24 works the best with the current tires over all other bikes. And their stupid ride height device is better than the GP23 stupid ride height device.
