Seven of Rossi’s world titles were in the premier class, w🎃hereas six of Marquez’s are.

There are other Rossi records which could fall to Marquez, ൲too.

His excellence on the factory Ducati this year means he i♑s the red-hot favourite for a ninth world title, and could then target a 10th in 2026🌱.

Rossi’s 89 race wins could eventuꦓally be in trouble too depending how long Marquez races on for. He ꦛhas 65 race wins so far.

Marquez has seen off a previous era o♒f racers while 🍸setting trends which the newer generation have copied.

"When I arrived in MotoGP I was fighting against big names - Jorge Loꦡrenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi,” he said.

“The main difference when I arrived in MotoGP to now is that now I am fi💧ghting against the younger talents that arrive from Moto2 and ♒they are super competitive.

"I introduced the elbow and a new riding style and now 𒅌when the younger riders arrive, they introduce another thing so I need to adapt🌞.

"I think more about the safety and I try to calculate more the r꧒isks - at one of the strongest and weakest points of my career it was diff💛icult to see the risk.

"Ten years ago, I was like 'my body is just for riding a bike, I don't care - I am fit and I will recover', but now I understand t🌌hat recovering from some injuries are super difficult.𝄹"

Marquez, who overcame career-threatening physical problems that he sustained in 2020, sits 24 points clear of his brother Alex Marquez at the top of the champ𒁃ionship.

The brothers are back on home soil at Aragon this weekend where Marc Marquez will hope the recent difficulties with his Ducati G꧑P25 do not rear their ug𝓰ly head again.
