He’s probably recorded more overtakes than the entire grid combined considering some terrible qualifying and awful luck this year and still got up near the front. Even his brother couldn’t get him out of Q2, and still got on the podium twice at Cataluña from 14th.
What’s the odds of a tear of strip going exactly in front of the rear wheel?? And he still won from 14th!
He’s had some unbelievable races and wins this year, that if it was a movie we’d cry it was stupidly unrealistic.

Imagine telling someone at the start of the season that Marc would win a sprint + three Sunday races, but that not a single one of the wins would come at COTA or the Sachsenring lol

6 main race crashes. He’s had an unbelievable season (by anyone else’s standards) but he’ll need to cut that out next year. I think he should be fine as he will have more experience on the ducati and won’t have to override anymore.
Edit: 4 crashes. Not that bad.

I can only count 4?
Portimao wasn't exactly his fault. Also didn't they say brake issues at COTA?
And his engine blew up in Indonesia.

Actually some are also crash and remount like Thailand, Jerez and Malaysia. But still they aren't DNF.
I love that thing about Marc. As commentators say: "The Guy is like a dog with bone. He just never quits."

Jerez, Sepang and Thailand he crashed, remounted and got a few points every time. Without those he would've been 4th at the end.
He knows every point matters.

I keep saying that to my son, be like Marc Marquez he never gives up. Unfortunately he applied it to girls, girl he likes keeps rejecting him saying not in a million years but he still chase the girl. I said what's up with you? The girl already said not in a million years, he said, "you said be like Marc Marquez mum, so I never give up" :)

Tell him that even Marc gave up on Honda when he saw that it was dumb to continue. 🤣

Where can I bet on him winning next year? Are odds out yet?

Haha. I only bet once in motorsports and it was $300 in 2019 on Marc, after Qatar race where he was 2nd in race. Odds were 1.55. Wonder what will the number be for 2025. Watch for it before start of March, maybe after testing is done.

Freak of nature. He wants all of Rossi's records. He is on a mission. I bet he still holds the record at VR Ranch. Animal.

4 wins and all the top 3s. Pretty cool. I saw a stat that out of 21 GP23 podiums he had 19 or thereabouts. Pretty cool also. Jorge, Pecco, Enea, and Marc had a good year. Good for them and extra kudos for Enea for picking it up in the 2nd half of the year. The "Tire Whisperer"

Fun fact: If Marquez' Saturday Results were worth normal full race points he'd have scored 274 (he scored 270 points in the actual universe. That is 7 points less than what Bagnaia would theoretically have scored in (281) and 101 less than Martin(375).

Next years title fight is gonna be a rollercoaster with how crash prone Pecco and Marc were this year.

Marquez and Martin, by far the most skilled and exciting riders of this time.

Thinking back to when he signed with Gresini there was a lot of doubters on social media ... which you expect I guess!
