Marc Marquez wrote a new chapter in the record books on Sunday, October 12 when he won the MotoGP World Championship title for the second consecutive time. Unfortunately, Marquez finished the race in second, as Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Jorge Lorenzo won the Motegi race. Still it was a splendid performance from Marquez, as not only he finished second, but crossed the chequered flag before Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi to defend the 2014 title successfully.
More importantly to achieve this task, Marquez had to put his emblem high-risk style aside, as after dropping down to sixth place in the early stage. The young Spanirad did not panic instead he adapted a more clinical approach and swiftly made his way up. The Repsol Honda rider first outstripped his teammate Pedrosa and then Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati before engaging in a brief skirmish with Rossi. Afterwards there was no looking back for Marquez.
Marquez said after the race that it was incredible and he cannot explain his feelings in words, for him it’s more like a dream. The jubilant rider said that it’s been just two years that he moved into MotoGP and already he has won two titles, which is unbelievable for him.
Marc also said on this occasion that his fans may feel that it was easy for me, as he always remain happy and smiling, but for him it was pretty tough, as he felt the pressure, particularly after committing mistakes in Misano and Aragon.
Marc also revealed that since it was important for Honda to win at its home track therefore he just focused on winning the title rather than winning the race. He said that he is pleased with his fans, team and family members, who has always pushed him.
The second place in the race gave Marquez (312 points) enough numbers in the overall standings to claim his second premier class title in a row. The terrific thing about this feat is that Marquez has done so at the age of just 21 years. So Marc has broken the 1962/63 record of Mike Hailwood, as he is now the youngest rider ever who has successfully defended a premier class title in two wheels category.
It was not the only record which Marquez made on Sunday. He has also became the first ever rider in any class, who has won the world championship title at its employer’s (Honda) home track. Indeed Marc has driven himself into the record books at the end of weekend, as he has achieved so much in very short time. Still there are three rounds to go in this season, but it seems nearly impossible for any rider to surpass Marquez in the charts.
The Spanish rider is comfortably sitting at number one position with 312 points. Whilst, Rossi has snatched second place Pedrosa, who is now at number three, but their points are same 230. On the other hand, the Japanese Grand Prix winner Lorenzo is at fourth place with 227 points. This means that MotoGP should get ready to see some fierce racing in last three rounds of the 2014 season. As all three riders will do their best to make a place in the top three.
