Marc Marquez is back on top and how! The man who many thought was done and dusted after years of injury nightmare has made one of the most jaw-dropping comebacks in MotoGP history. The #93 crowned himself the MotoGP World Champion 2025 with five races still on the calendar, proving that true champions never lose their spark. So, buckle up because this story is as thrilling as one of Marquez’s legendary turns on the track.
How Did Marc Marquez Win the Rider’s Championship 2025 With 5 Races Still To Go
Let’s rewind a little. Marc Marquez last took the crown in 2019, displaying an unstoppable force in MotoGP. But then life threw him a curveball, a serious right arm injury in 2020 that led to four gruelling surgeries and over 100 crashes. The man who once seemed invincible faced years of misery, doubted by many fans and critics alike. Even Honda’s machinery wasn’t playing nice, and the years 2022 and 2023 felt like a harsh uphill battle.
Then came the game changer: Marquez packing up his bags and riding for the Gresini Ducati satellite team in 2024. Nobody really expected that this move would lead to such a meteoric rise. He started hitting the podium again, reawakening the champion spirit that the world fell in love with. His surge in form earned him a factory Ducati ride in 2025, and boy, did he deliver!
The 2025 season has seen Marc Marquez absolutely dominate the track. With 11 Grand Prix wins and 14 sprint victories in just 17 rounds, he rewrote the record books left and right. At the Japanese Grand Prix, all it took was a cool-headed second place behind teammate Francesco Bagnaia for Marquez to seal the championship. His brother and rival Alex Marquez tried everything, but finishing sixth wasn’t enough to keep the #93 from clinching the title. The points gap was so huge that Marquez had an unassailable lead with five races to spare.
Marquez’s 2025 glory isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the story behind them. Becoming a seven-time MotoGP world champion puts him neck and neck with legends like Valentino Rossi and firmly in sight of the all-time record held by Giacomo Agostini. His comeback is rated one of the greatest in sporting history, inspiring fans and riders around the world.
And let’s not forget: Marc Marquez is the fourth Ducati rider ever to win the premier class title, joining the ranks of Casey Stoner, Francesco Bagnaia, and Jorge Martin, cementing Ducati’s dominance too.
