Ranking Marquez's 7 MotoGP Titles: 2025 Tops All

MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Marc Marquez of Ducati Corse claims his seventh MotoGP title at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, ending a six-year drought. In-depth ranking of all seven since 2013 crowns 2025 as the greatest comeback in MotoGP history.

Epic Comeback: 2025 Takes Top Spot

The 2025 title ranks highest (49/50), surpassing even 2019's dominance. At his 2019 peak, a severe Jerez arm injury in 2020 led to four major surgeries. Marquez left Repsol Honda Team to join Gresini Racing for free in 2024, testing his speed. On the unfamiliar Ducati, he secured 11 Grand Prix wins, 14 sprints, and 10 full 37-point weekends, clinching the championship earlier than ever. No rider has waited longer between titles, making him the modern era's youngest and oldest champion.

Unstoppable Force: 2019 Ranks Second

2019 (46/50) closed the decade with a 151-point lead over Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati. Marquez notched 12 wins, missing the podium just once (barring COTA). He single-handedly delivered Honda's treble: riders', teams', and constructors' crowns. The gap to teammate Jorge Lorenzo, finishing 19th, underscored his edge. Yet, Jerez 2020 halted the momentum.

Sophomore Surge: 2014 Third Place

In 2014 (43.5/50), Marquez grabbed his second title with 13 wins, including a record 10 straight at the start. He pushed his limits, while Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha faltered, Valentino Rossi needed time, and Dani Pedrosa battled arm pump. This year aligns with 2019 and 2025 as peerless eras.

Legend Born: 2013 Fourth

Rookie year 2013 (42/50) etched history as the youngest premier-class champion. A fierce battle with Jorge Lorenzo ended just four points apart in Valencia. Nearly clinched early, but a Honda strategy error caused disqualification in Australia. Pressure from a seasoned champ didn't faze him, proving his elite caliber.

Early Pressure to Domination: 2018 Fifth

2018 (40.5/50) started rough: Qatar loss, Argentina clash with Valentino Rossi. From Catalunya, podiums in every finish, leading Dovizioso by 76 points—while hiding a shoulder injury. His RC213V edge grew: Cal Crutchlow one win, Dani Pedrosa 11th.

New Era Adaptation: 2016 Sixth

2016 (39.5/50) showcased adaptation to unified electronics and Michelin tires. Honda struggled with the untamed 'screamer' engine; Marquez learned from 2015's six crashes. Five wins, but consistent: only four races outside top-3 before Japan clinch. Le Mans crash taught risk management. Assen runner-up felt like a title, marking maturity.

Toughest Challenge: 2017 Seventh

2017 (38/50) was hardest, a head-to-head with Dovizioso. Honda unchanged from 2016; Marquez crashed in Qatar-Argentina. Dovizioso led with early wins, stress causing hair loss. He shifted gears, scoring key points in Brno, epic duels in Austria-Japan. Wet Misano win and iconic Valencia 'save' defined it. Six wins matched Dovizioso, highlighting grit.

Enduring Legacy Ahead

This ranking highlights Marquez's evolution: from prodigy to comeback icon. At 32, he equals Rossi's seven MotoGP titles, but his narrative is singular. Sportrik analysis predicts 2025 launches a new dominance chapter, inspiring future MotoGP stars.
