Marquez is very entertaining to watch. Many riders make non racers think,"yeah, I could do that." But Marc just keeps you thinking,"how in the hell does he do that?"

Does anyone remember when Rossi was riding the Honda he would win with half a lap ahead. So HONDA INSULTED ROSSI BY saying it was the bike that was winning. So he left Honda

He easily could go into retirement after his accident last July, but choose to return, P7 today,good job Marc.

Good reasons. I'd also include the fact that he is a once in a generation athlete- his reflexes are on another level from most MotoGP riders. He also has a finely tuned training and nutrition program- probably other elements most of us have little insight to. He's a lot of fun to watch and I wish him many more years of championships and good health.

Might be worth mentioning that he also looks like he’s really just out there to have as much fun as possible!

Number 7 - "Victory or Gravel" mind set. Perfectioned with the years he won't make maths for winning championships, he will always give his 100% even when the conditions are not the best. This is why he is not only a 8 times world champion but a role model in life. (For me at least)

Includes: 1 - He is not afraid, 2 - He is happy riding a motorcycle. Greetings from Spain.

He always pushes beyond the limits and that’s y he crashes a lot whereas most other riders aren’t willing to do that. He is the most exciting rider to watch whether if u like him or not. I’ve always been a fan since he was in moto2

Yes, it's the saves! How many times have you seen him save the bike that had you thinking, 'THAT WAS F#*^NG IMPOSSIBLE!!! I'm convinced he's the greatest race rider of all time

There's one main reason above all the stated before: Strong minded and determination...

He's not only a great rider but great athlete too..

I appreciate all the info. February 06, 2021 will be my first track day. The skills you talk about has helped my confidence. Thanks again!

Before I finish watching the video, I want to say that his physique probably plays a big part in his bike control. He probably has faster and better muscle reflexes than most riders, therefore he can react and adjust faster. That's just my opinion.

I was hyped when he mentioned Danny Pedrosa. I met him in Germany in 2009 in a super random way. He had his trailer pulled over at a rest stop that my family stopped at near Nurburgring (not incredibly close, but there were signs saying it was like 75 km away). I was 13 at the time. He was a really nice guy and we talked for like 10 minutes

Marquez is simply the GOAT. He was so far ahead of the competition when he entered Motogp in 2013, bringing new skills into the sport like sliding into the corners and those extreme lean angles. Now i feel the new generation of riders and the factories have caught up mostly by copying and extensively studying Marquez riding style. Still, in my eyes Marquez will go down as the GOAT. A Revolutionary Rider who changed the game.

I've always attributed his success to his mental determination. His body might not be able to go as hard as before but it's down to the mentality. You can heal your body but Marc benefits from the fact that he has always had a strong mindset and no crash or injury has been able to hinder his strong mentality

#1 Reason: *HE IS INSANNNNNNEEE*

I really enjoyed this one, I think it would be nice for this to become a series on different professional riders and not just in moto gp.

He is one of the best rider but for me VR46 is still my favourite Moto GP rider

Amazingly presented mate! That was awesome! Brilliant analysis of true Champion.

In my opinion, Marc being so dominant, is a combination of many factors, like talent, determination, courage, etc. But mostly it is hard work he puts into every single one of his training sessions. His strenght, stamina, reflex, coordination are on completly different level comparing to other riders and this allows him to be in full control of his bike. He sets the new standards and does things on his Honda that other riders can only dream about. There other thing is his attitude towards racing. He his always positive and smiling and he looks like one of the few riders on the MotoGP grid who truly loves what he is doing. He is very similar, if not the greater athlete, than Lewis Hamilton.

Just a tip to focus on - it is his control of the front tire and the ability to slide it. You can look up interviews from Cal Crutchlow. You can also see that in races if you look at the helicopter cam ànd his turn entries - his bike just doesn't turn when leaned during corner entries :) this is rather major and bigger than his rear tire even though it is not as attractive and easy to see

Rossi when he first met Marc, "So you are the brave Marc.." he heard of him, and knew his potential. It will probably be few years still, until Marc found someone to overthrow him. As for now, I'll enjoy seeing him slaughtering records.

getting out of comfort zone and deliberate oractice are keys! great breakdown!

man! Your videos just keep getting better & better! Looks like you've discovered your niche, combining your passion for motorcycles with solid research and analysis in order to break complex subjects down to easily understandable fundamentals that can interest, entertain and benefit a broader audience. I see your channel and subs base growing exponentially if you keep heading in this new direction. You just got 1 more. Keep up the great work. Thanks

keep doing these video mike!! would love your take on the other riders!

4:28 Forget knee dragging...he’s ELBOW DRAGGING!

I don't even watch motogp but was looking at some final lap fights from 2019 and came to this video because I noticed the way he rides is so different from other pilots. And yeah the slipping and almost losing his rear (and even front) so frequently was jaw dropping!

I remember a race years ago before he got to the top class. He had to start from the pit lane and still won! Thought I'd better look out for him then!

Keep up the great stuff Mike !

Appreciate the hard work you put in your videos

This is a great video, you can use the info here for improving your ability in every sphere not just bike racing. I will take a look at the book mentioned - thank you and subscribed.

"Always something new to learn!" Words to live by!!!👍

Great video. 👍 I'm no fan of a Marquez but there's no denying it, if someone is going to beat him he's going to have go to a level beyond where nobody even imagined Marquez could be right now.

Excellent analysis and video. Marc Marquez is the most complete competitive rider I've seen in my 50+ years in motorcycling. Like you said- he's aggressive but smooth, has phenomenal feel for the bike, uses a calculated racing strategy, and was never intimidated (even by Rossi). Probably the motoGP G.O.A.T. But like all the greats, someone will eventually dethrone him.

I enjoyed the martial arts comparison. I think a lot of these aspects can and do relate to the kickboxing practice ive had. And this video sure will help me be not only a better motorcyclist but a more well rounded fighter :)

I haven't watched a single gp race in the past ten years but you know what? I remember seeing about 20 second clip of Marc's riding when he was only two time world champion and thought to myself, this guy is the best ever. Go figure

Also his will to win is incredible.... coming back from horrific eye injury... winning from back of grid in 125 and moto2.... iam not his biggest fan but He's a proper beast on track.

This is an exceptional video...well done!

Bro, u do great videos, thanks for the quality content

He is a natural. His motor skills is above all others

I love your ending quote btw. "Theres always something new to learn" 💪

Thank you for these video.awesome!

Nice you mentioned Dani Pedrosa, i belive that having a Team Mate like Dani helps a lot to get better.

He’s always on the edge pushing beyond the limits, that’s what makes him one of the best 🏁

His falls and injuries is due to being in competition with himself.

This is some great stuff for success in every aspect of life!

First time i heard his name was back in 2010, when i saw clips from the 125cc that year. Then after he moved to Moto2 in 2011, i started look closer after his progress, and in that first year in Moto2, he already fought for the championship, just unfortunate with his injury at the end of the season. Then i say, ok this guy has something special. I was excited when he was announced that he'll be riding for Repsol Honda in 2013. And the rest know the history. And it's unfortunate that he broke his arm early on the season, which excluded him out of the championship. Now we're seeing the younger Marquez starting to prove his worth in MotoGP

Watching this after his amazing save. Too bad he slipped later in the race but amazing nonetheless.

6:45 This is for me the most important skill of Marc. You can see it so clearly now that he didnt race this year. The other riders are riding so much smoother compared to Marc; especially going into the corner.

This is why I love Marquez, he goes to the extreme to find the limit and he is always entertaining to watch. In all those races where he was not in MotoGP after his accident it was just boring to watch, he is just something else that puts me on the edge of my seat every time I see him riding. I hope he is going to get a good bike soon and win many more championships.

Very interesting, refreshing, thought provoking.. thanks , I enjoyed that!

Why was Stoner so good? | 6 main reasons

1) His ability to rotate the bike at full lean. 2 His ability to induce extreme lean. 3) His ability to take controlled risk to find limits, i.e. he is willing to crash in a controlled manor. 4) The elbow save.

Awesome analysis, I've done both mx and sport bikes... crazy how things have changed over the last 25 yrs.

Exceptional video. Bravo!

Great video! Congrats! Just one minor thing though, pronunciation is “már.quez”, being strong the “a” and not “mar.quéz”! :) Sending support from Spain!

0:30 Nice touch med flaggan.

Between 1978 and 1993, six different American road racers traveled abroad to race in the 500 cc grand prix. In that span of fifteen years, these six riders won thirteen 500cc championships. Kenny Roberts, Freddy Spencer, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz all shared the skill of "flat tracking", where groups of riders race at 140 mph on dirt tracks with jumps, left and right turns. Kenny Roberts Jr. won the 500cc championship in 2000 and Nicky Hayden was the last American flat tracker/500cc Grand Prix champion. (RIP)

thank you for sharing!

It's phenomenal this young Márquez 👌

He's so good because I taught him everything he knows 👌

Excellent tube! Can’t wait for his return to see how long it takes him to to get back to the top of his game.

always something to learn !

All those good things you said I believe are true. I also believe even this year (2021) when recovering from injuries he is one of the most dangerous riders in the field. Fearless when the risk is only to yourself is admirable but his fearlessness more than occasionally put the other riders at risk. He probably will end up being the rider with the most wins but he also may be viewed as a rider that risked other riders safety to get there.

I think for me Marquez is really Fearless Rider in the track, watch the interview when hes talking about Real rider that is ready for the race, hes talking about being fearless, admit it fear of crashing slows a rider , He even told that he dont need comfortable bike , but he need the fastest one... look at valley he slows down this last season, in an interview he mention about crashing, because of loosing traction, that hes not that comfortable in the bike, like come on. . . we all have natural instinct to be safe in riding, but MotoGP is Racing.... the faster the better., fastest and its bad ass great... marquez even fight the crash itself by keeping the trottle and his balance sometimes and that is hes fearless mind setting that what im trying to mention, sorry for my english

Great video as always!

1st time watching sumtin like this and really enjoyed it ! Simple enough for a novice like me to enjoy and understand

The more I watch MotoGP the more I realize it's more of a team sport than an individual sport. And my questions aren't why is so-and-so so good? It's, what chemistry is going on with the entire team?

He came from another planet. The planet of the greatest!

When I view these I try to learn. i do not get hung up on personalities or people. I watch the style of riding, but, the BEST teacher is tailing someone and learning the grooves and finer points of braking, trail braking and acceleration points out of the corners. Everyone is fast in a straightaway, but, the race is won in the curves. I know at my age I cannot attain this level and therefore I ride within my abilities. The KEY is knowing the difference. Younger riders recoiver better than older riders and older riders take more time to heal. That and it seems to hurt a lot more after 40 than it did @ 20.

Well done video !

Congrats Mike for hitting a hundred, My name is Mike too, Ride Safe bruh

I miss watchng MotoGP..... I hope some of the season can be salvaged.

That was very cool video, thank you

Wow! amazing video, qmazing channel, you got a new sub!

He is a smart rider and that’s one of his greatest skill. He knows how to have more advantage, focus on things others doesn’t even think of, and use his natural abilities to become even more powerful. His physique is one of them. Every rider train hard. But it’s the type of training not just how much and how hard. He stated before (in either interview or his documentary) he didn’t focused himself to be stronger in training. But focused more on agility and flexibility. Which is why he can get back up and ride the bike again even after a big crash and most times he hurt less than he should’ve been. Smart moves imo cause that is such an advantage compared to his rivals. I rarely heard riders talk about building their flexibility before marc. His trainer said this is exactly why he made crashed looked “easy”. He crashed a lot even way before motogp, and had one of the biggest crash in his career in moto2. And maybe this fact lead him to a different set of training which now become a huge advantage for him. And he’s not scared of it somehow. Even when he was a little kid, there was a footage of him crashing, the older people were running to help him and worried, he didn’t even blink twice and get back on the bike continue to race. And he listens! People close to him, like his dad, said this is one of the reason why he is who he is rn. He listened to everyone else stories, achievements, problems, inputs, even critics and analyze them and use them as a learning point for himself. Once I heard this I became kinda obsessed watching him in press conference. You’ll notice he is one of the only rider who seems interested in what his rivals have to say and always listening. He also listens to the bike. He seemed like he tried to fit in to what the bike wanted (like in 2016) instead of asking for the bike to behave the way he need. While wait & consult the team to help fix the bike to his preference.

“Makes it harder to turn in, but helps it go almost keep up with Ducati on the straights” Sacrificing handling to almost keep up? How good would he be on a Ducati then?

Great video. Where do you normally get MotoGP coverage and past footage?

I feel good watching moto grand prix like it is satisfying to watch

top 7. he train his body, another riders look so soft

Man I love watching dovizioso and Marquez in those last lap showdowns

,,, Quite Interesting Squire, I don't Usually Stay Till the End. NICE. ,,, 🙉🙈🙊

Wow such skill and mind control Simply Impressive

Marquez is great because of his level of dedication and love of the sport.

I personally see him as a rider that is always learning and want to improve.. plus, he has an insane winning mentality.. he clearly makes other riders in the motoGP look 30-40% less of a threat.. but the way he rides makes me worry that he might not be able to break or set new records due to injuries or worse..

Hes excellent, very talented, could possibly go down as one of the best riders ever! Does help having a privileged upbringing, not have to worry to much about paying bills, had access to motorbikes all his life, well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mike do a video on explaining how quartararo's braking technique work, because it is so unique from what i saw

Gotta add one more. He is having fun. Like a kid immersed in their favorite hobby and its useless for the parents to pry the kid away.

I'm a Rossi fan eversince ... but that doesn't change the fact that Marc is the fastest MOTOGP RIDER I've EVER SEEN.

Great Video !

Awesome video. Marquez is an alien riding a motorbike.

Plz make a video on what makes Valentino rossi soo good.. and one on a rookie fabio as well he has similar riding style to jl99

I reckon it's because he has the perfect height , weight and strength ratio. His legs are perfect levers for the Honda RCV2113V, his arms are the same, in essence his fulcrums are perfect . His age also helps..he is fearless and totally believes in his abilities.

brilliant video

This is exactly my question for tonight after watching a highlight marathon.

The 2017 valencia saves, that is UNBELIEVEBLE, as a marc fan my heart was stopped for a second cause i thought he crash

This is a man that has many talents, best rider in the field. The Era of Marquez is still starting. He is going to brake a lot more records than any other rider in the field

I come back to this video again and again for my life

He is short and light definitely a great attribute
