Marc Marquez is on the verge of making history. Following a masterclass performance in Lusail, the Spaniard needs to outscore Jorge Martin by just two points in the upcoming Portimao sprint race to secure his tenth world championship title. This dominance has ignited intense speculation about the legend's future.

Stefan Bradl, a former teammate and test rider who knows Marquez's mentality intimately, shared a bold theory during a recent television broadcast. Bradl suggested that if Marquez secures this title, he might consider retiring while still at the absolute peak of his performance.

"I have a feeling that if he wins the title now and surpasses Valentino Rossi, he might say, okay, that is it. He would then step away with that status," stated Bradl during his analysis. Bradl emphasized that there are very few athletes in history who have managed to walk away while at the very top of their game.

Should this scenario unfold, the implications for Ducati Corse would be significant. The highly anticipated internal battle between Marquez and Pedro Acosta for the following season would be rendered void, forcing the Italian manufacturer to abruptly rethink their strategic roadmap.
