Márquez: "Now I enjoy every victory because I don't know if it will be the last"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General31 August 2026 at 06:34

Marc Márquez, 33 years old and nine-time world motorcycling champion, returned to shake up the MotoGP World Championship. The Ducati rider has demonstrated a level of competition that has surprised the entire paddock, producing what the article describes as "tsunamis" that leave all those involved in the championship off balance.

Márquez's rivals continue to consider him as the clear favorite for the title, even when the Spanish rider was in eighth position in the championship. At the end of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, Márquez was 102 points behind leader Marco Bezzecchi, from Aprilia, but was still pointed out as the main candidate to defend the title.

The article states that Márquez continues to be treated as "the king" of motorcycling, demonstrating that his prestige and history in the sport give him a special status regardless of his position in the overall championship standings. His ability to turn the tables has been highlighted as something unique in the racing world.

The publication's headline suggests a change in mindset on Márquez's part, who now states that he enjoys every victory knowing it could be the last, reflecting a more appreciative approach to his career after the challenges faced in recent years.
