Marc Marquez holds a mammoth 83-point advantage at the top of the MotoGP standings over brother Alex Marquez.

The Spaniards have been untouchable at times this season, taking multiple one-two finishes and dominating for Ducati.

The younger Marquez has discovered a form that he has never displayed before in the premier class, while the older Marquez has managed to get back to his very best in 2025.

Halfway through the season, it seems that the top two riders in the MotoGP standings will be there at the end of the year, barring any substantial developments.

Marquez has been fighting demons at Ducati in 2025 not to go faster, such is the mega advantage the GP25 holds.

At the German Grand Prix, Marquez even ignored a Luigi Dall’Igna warning before qualifying and still tried to push himself to the limit.

Alex Marquez says the ‘key’ to beating Marc Marquez in 2025 will be consistency

Marquez felt like a ‘passenger’ at the German Grand Prix and struggled a little on his return from a wrist injury at Assen.

But Alex was keen not to push himself over the edge. He took his time at the Sachsenring, and when others fell around him, he was able to capitalise.

Speaking to GPOne after the event, he revealed what he feels will be the ‘key’ to beating his brother in 2025.

“So we have the best conditions [at Austria], we have a chance of winning the title, and we’ll do everything we can to turn the statistics around and ensure a success for the Marquez family here.

“If I can’t beat Marc, we’ll score as many points as possible. Consistency is key for us to win the championship. We’ll certainly start the second half of the season in Austria in good spirits.”

How Alex Marquez proved his quick MotoGP return was a magnificent idea

Missing the race in Germany would have been another huge blow to Alex’s hopes of beating Marc in the long run.

He would have trailed him by more than 100 points with half the season already gone. That’s a massive deficit to claw back.

In 2022, Francesco Bagnaia came from 91 points back to beat Fabio Quartararo, but they were on different bikes.

For the Marquez brothers, that isn’t the case. They must fight on the same machinery, and a gap of 83 points will take a lot to come back from.

But the second place he earned at the German Grand Prix could end up being crucial at the end of the year.
