MotoGP legend Kevin Schwantz says this weekend’s Americ꧂as Grand Prix is the “worst case scenario” for Marc Marquez’s MotoGP rivals.

Eight-time grand prix worldไ champion Marquez has made a perfect start to the 2025 season, qualifying on pole at both of the grands prix run so far and winning both sprints and maiꩵn races.

It has given him a 16-point lead in the championship over his brother Alex Marquez, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s factory Ducati team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia is already 31 points adrift in third.

Few are predicting Marc Marquez’s domination of 2025 to e🥀nd this weekend at the Circuit of the Americas either given his record at the Texan venue.

Marquez won his first MotoGP race at COTA in 2013 and won six🎐 on the bounce up to 2018, before adding a seventh victor🌺y in 2021.

On Thursday at COTA, 1993 500cc world champion Kevin Schwantz said of ⛄Marquez’s start to 2025: “Everybody that’s in the loop kinღda predicted that.

“♔And worst case scenario for the rest of the field, COTA has kinda been his home ground for quite some time.

“He didn’t quite have it his way the last couple of years. But before that seven wins on the t𒐪rot.”

Marquez’s form on the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:factory Ducati was predicted pre-season to be strong, with many paddock voices making him the clear favourite to win the championship this y♍ear.

Schwantz admit🦄s he is somewhat surprised by just how quick Marquez has been out of the gate in 2025, but warns it “could be a long, tough season” for his rivals.

“It’s kind of a surprise,” he added.

“These modern machines seem so difficult. You go from one brand to the other, it’s all the same brand of ty𝓀re now, so that makes it a little bit easier.

“But I think Marc is just showing the talent that we’ve always known that he had - especially riding that Honda that nobody else could even come close to getting alonꦬg with.

“So, could be a long tough season.”
