Marc Marquez equals two MotoGP legends in Qatar

After his unfortunate crash at the United States Grand Prix, Marc Marquez struck a major blow in Qatar, at the fourth round of the 2025 season. MotoGPBy winning for the first time since 2014 on the Losail circuit, the multiple world champion equaled several driver records in the discipline.

By winning his third Grand Prix of the season, Marc Marquez not only secured his 65th premier class victory, but also his 114th MotoGP podium finish, equaling the total of three-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo.. This figure makes Marquez the joint holder of the Spanish record for podium finishes in the premier class, and he could become the sole holder of this record at the next race in Jerez, in front of his home crowd..

Jorge Lorenzo, however, isn't the only Spanish driver whose tally Marc Marquez matched last week. The #93 also joined Dani Pedrosa on the podium in all categories, with 153. His next podium will also make him the most successful Spanish driver in history in terms of Grand Prix podiums.. In both rankings, only Giacomo Agostini and Valentino Rossi are still before him.

Marquez's dominance doesn't stop there. He took his fourth consecutive pole position in Qatar in 2025, bringing his total to 98 MotoGP poles.. He thus moves closer to the historic milestone of 100 poles, never before achieved in the world championship. His lap of 1'50.499 also set a new circuit record.

With this feat, Marc Marquez brings his total to 91 Grand Prix victories. He is now just two wins away from the symbolic number 93, which corresponds to his number. He also moves closer to the very exclusive club of drivers with more than 100 victories, where only Giacomo Agostini (122) and Valentino Rossi (115) currently reign supreme..

Once again leading the championship with 123 points, Marc Marquez also took the opportunity to refocus on his main objective: a ninth world title in MotoGP..
