Marc Marquez secured his 15th consecutive race win at the Spanish Grand Prix sprint, courtesy of some misfortune on his brother’s part.
It now looks like a real possibility that he could have the championship wrapped up at the next round in Misano, bringing Ducati even more glory after their constructors’ triumph this weekend.
Marquez is well on his way toward breaking multiple incredible records and will be hoping that he can enjoy a similar advantage in 2026.
His MotoGP rivals won’t be so keen to let him maintain such an advantage, with a lot of hard work awaiting them over the winter.
Even reigning champion Jorge Martin doubts he could have beaten Marquez even if he was fully fit this season.
However, Marquez is risking Luigi Dall’Igna’s big fear by winning so much. He fears that the team will become quite unpopular.
Marc Marquez reveals the biggest ‘weak point’ in his MotoGP technique at the Catalan Grand Prix
Although Marquez has done something Dall’Igna has ‘never’ seen, they both know that the run could end at any moment.
The main aim is to remain as sharp as possible for the rest of the campaign. If he can win at Catalunya, he can win anywhere.
Marquez admitted he would ‘hate’ the Catalan Grand Prix if it wasn’t his home race, due to the number of high-speed right-hand curves.
Speaking to DAZN, he shared what his ‘weak point’ has always been, and how he tries to mitigate their effect on his speed.
“It has been since 2013, when I competed against you, it has always been my weak point. In a test, I lose a little more, but then in the race I focus and make it up.”
“These fast right-wing curves have always been my weak point, but I try to counter it in those left-hand ones. That’s why in circuits that there is so much right, like here, it has cost me. But with the Ducati, it’s a little easier.”

How Marc Marquez can enjoy the best weekend of his MotoGP career at Motegi
At this stage, Alex Marquez needs to start delivering some significant results, but a dream weekend for Marquez isn’t out of the question yet.
If his brother can finish second behind him at all remaining races, his championship will go to Motegi, where there will be multiple records on the table.
Not only will he become the oldest champion, beating Valentino Rossi’s feat by two years, but he will also match his own milestone for most consecutive Grands Prix victories (10).
Marquez wants his ‘match point’ to be at Motegi, as there is a strong chance that he wouldn’t receive the best reception at Misano, but it’s mainly up to things out of his own hands.
