At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Marc powered his factory Ducati to victory yet again, overcoming a rocky start but proving once again why he’s the man to beat. Not only did he win the main race from pole, but he also grabbed the Saturday sprint, ticking off his seventh straight “double” weekend win—seriously, talk about dominating!
His points tally now leaves his brother, Alex Marquez, in the dust—a massive 175-point lead separates them after Alex could only muster two points in Hungary. People were initially joking about Marc wrapping up the 2025 championship crazy early, but with his unmatchable winning streak and Alex having a tough season after a crash at the Dutch GP, it’s looking like Marc could seal the title at Misano in mid-September. If Marc can widen the gap by just 47 more points in the next couple of races, the championship could be sorted before the final rounds even roll around.
While Alex might have been a reliable runner-up earlier this year, his recent struggles mean nobody else is close enough to threaten Marc’s top spot. Third-placed Francesco Bagnaia is even further back, and he’s not having the best time either. If Marc pulls off another couple of perfect weekends in Barcelona and San Marino, and Alex doesn’t crank out podium results, the title showdown could be over sooner than anyone expected.
Marc himself isn’t rushing to clinch the championship, preferring to keep the suspense alive a bit longer—and hoping Alex doesn’t have a rough go in their home Barcelona race. But let’s be real: the way Marc’s riding, mounting up “double wins” like clockwork, the MotoGP world title might be all but headed his way, showcasing yet another chapter of Marquez brilliance in the books.
Marc Marquez
“I was lucky not to crash after the coming together with Bezzecchi: I wasn’t expecting him to slow down that much at turn two and I ran into him. My mistake. I lost one position and from there my race had a new start: I stayed patient, knowing I had the medium tyre on my side. I got it up to the perfect temperature and then I started pushing. The tyre choice really made the difference, as this morning I realised that with the medium I was able to lap at the same pace as the others on the soft. I knew that as the race went on, I’d be able to keep the same rhythm.”
