Marc Marquez: Fifth win in a row at the sprint race in Austin!

Marc Marquez celebrated an impressive victory in the sprint race in Austin, Texas, cementing his dominant position in the 2025 MotoGP season. The Ducati Lenovo Team rider secured his fifth consecutive victory and remains undefeated this season. His younger brother, Alex Marquez, also had a strong performance and took second place. Francesco Bagnaia, also riding for Ducati, rounded out the podium, which is not the first such finish for him this season, having also reached the podium in the sprints at Buriram and Termas de Rio Hondo.

What was particularly notable was that Marc Marquez was only just able to avoid a crash on the first lap. Despite this temporary setback, he ultimately took the lead in the race with an impressive performance. Another notable achievement was the fact that Ducati took the top five places in the classification, underlining their dominance in the current season. The main race, the Austin Grand Prix, takes place on Sunday at 9pm CET and expectations are high for the drivers.

Unbridled winning streak

Marc Marquez's winning streak began at the beginning of the 2025 season when he also triumphed at the Gran Premio YPF Energía de Argentina. In this race, Marquez got the better of Alex Marquez, who again took second place, while Franco Morbidelli completed the podium in third place. On the final lap of the race, Marquez showed his class by successfully closing the gap created by Alex Marquez in the previous laps and ultimately crossing the finish line with a lead of 1.5 seconds.

Marquez has already achieved four wins from four races in the 2025 season. This year, spectators can once again watch an exciting rivalry between the two Marquez brothers, who have already established themselves as serious competitors on the racetrack. At the same time, it is becoming apparent that the Ducati machines are extremely competitive this season, which is reflected in the results so far.

A look at Marc Marquez's career

Marc Marquez has had an impressive career that began in motocross and minibikes at the age of six. His meteoric rise in MotoGP began in 2013 when he became the youngest world champion in the premier class at just 20 years old. Since then he has won numerous titles and set records. His impressive performances in various categories, from the 125cc class to MotoGP, demonstrate his exceptional talent.

Although he has struggled with injuries in the past, he has always fought back. After a season last year in which he struggled with the competitiveness of his Honda, he moved to Ducati for the 2024 season, where he has already won two races, including his first victory on Ducati in 1043 days. This return to winning ways is now continuing in the current season.

With his feature race coming up in Austin, Marquez not only remains in the hunt for more wins, but also proves that he remains one of the best riders in the MotoGP circuit. His rivals, especially his brother Alex, will do everything in their power to push him from the top spot.
