Marc Marquez has shared his impressions on the battle for the MotoGP 2026 title, stating that he does not feel pressured despite being considered one of the favorites. The Spanish rider, who has made a strong comeback on his Ducati after overcoming serious physical limitations, believes that winning another championship would not change his life.
After losing two races due to surgery, Marquez has spectacularly recovered. He has recently won three of the last four races, shortening a 100-point deficit and placing himself in third position in the standings, just 18 points behind the leader, Jorge Martin.
Despite expectations that position him as a favorite to achieve his tenth world title, Marquez has downplayed the importance of this potentiality. ‘My life will not change for one more title. For other riders, winning their first title is a big change,’ he commented.
At the same time, he noted that his rivals, such as Marco Bezzecchi, Ai Ogura, and Fabio di Giannantonio, are fighting with more intensity, as they have more to lose and gain in their MotoGP careers. ‘Five riders within 24 points. We start from zero. 24 points is quite nothing,’ he said. With this perception, Marquez feels more relaxed, knowing that his ambition will not be affected by external pressures.
Marquez has acknowledged that his rivals have given him a second chance in competition, and he hopes to take advantage of this new phase to continue fighting until the end of the season. ‘I will try to take advantage of it. We will try to fight until the end,’ concluded the rider.
