The GP25 is flawed. MM can ride around that, like he did at Honda. Bagnaia can’t

Is Marc Márquez the GOAT? That's a big question! What is without doubt is that he now has the longest MotoGP championship-winning career in history at 13 years, which betters Agostini, whose titles span 10 years, and Rossi, whose titles span 9 years www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

IF Marc Marquez secures the #MotoGP title this weekend it will be the earliest of his seven championship wins: 2013 was at the last round, so 100% of the season, 2014 & 2016 were 83.3%, 2017 was 100%, 2018 was 83.9%, 2019 was 78.9%, 2025 will be 77.3% 😎

As #MotoGP becomes increasingly separate from lower series, do Moto2 and Moto3 championships count any more? @matoxley.bsky.social weighs in
go.motorsportmagazine.com/42...

Is Rossi a seven-time MotoGP king or a nine-time motorcycle world champion?

MotoGP's owners are working to further separate grand prix racing's class of kings from the lower series, so who's a world champion now and what's in store for Moto2 and Moto3?

Got a 6-page interview with Alex Márquez in the new Bike magazine What it's like racing your brother in #MotoGP, how his move to Ducati set the template for Marc's & how he wanted to kill Marc when he was little but big bro was too big (all younger siblings will recognise this!)
