At the recent Dutch Grand Prix, Marc Marquez equalled Giacomo Agostini’s 68 wins in the premier class, marking his 94th victory across all categories. While in the Netherlands, Autosport asked key members of his inner circle which of those triumphs stands out as the most special.
Marc Marquez is currently enjoying a golden period after enduring a personal ordeal that lasted three years, starting with the arm injury he suffered at Jerez in 2020. Four surgeries later, now wearing the leathers of the factory Ducati team, the six-time MotoGP world champion is heading for his seventh premier class crown – his ninth overall.
At 32 years old, the Spaniard has been part of the world championships since 2008, the year he debuted in the 125cc class. After clinching the title in 2010, he repeated the feat in Moto2 two years later, before bursting into MotoGP the following season like a lightning bolt.
In the premier class, the Catalan shattered records and quickly became the benchmark, something made clear by the six titles he racked up over seven consecutive years. Then came the darkness, from which he has emerged stronger than ever and at peace with himself.
This revitalising process has placed him in a privileged position, free from pressure and without the need to prove anything to anyone. The six double victories out of a possible 10 so far this season prove it more than anything, as does the immense potential he has shown at circuits that, on paper, were never particularly favourable to him in the past.

In Italy, two rounds ago, #93 claimed the 93rd win of his career, and at Assen’s ‘Cathedral’ less than two weeks ago, he notched up number 94.
Over nearly two decades, Marquez has surrounded himself with a team that has evolved over time. Key figures have included Santi Hernandez, the technical chief who accompanied him through Moto2 and throughout his time with Honda, as well as trusted mechanics like Carlos Linan and Jordi Castella during his tenure with the golden-wing brand.
Later, when he moved to Gresini and rode a Ducati, new figures like Frankie Carchedi, his race engineer in the Italian team, came into the picture.
Now sporting Ducati’s iconic red, Marquez works alongside paddock legends such as Davide Tardozzi and technical chief Marco Rigamonti. Autosport spoke with them to ask: out of all those victories, which one do they consider the most special?
