Psychological Edge

Marc has the mind of a tactician — he wins with race intelligence and relentless aggression. Álex, once shadowed by Marc, now rides with clear independence and a quiet confidence that’s unnerving top contenders.

“It’s no longer just about beating the grid. I want to beat Marc — and I know I can,” — Álex Márquez (Silverstone post-race interview).

The Road Ahead

As MotoGP heads into the second half of the season, Marc Márquez leads the championship, but Álex is closing the gap. Every race now has family drama, mutual respect, and ferocious competitiveness.

2025 could be the year the Márquez household brings home both Sprint and Main Race titles.
