Marc Marquez “tactical genius” overcame “mental hurdle” to take an iron grip
Marc Marquez was "rattཧled by mistakes" but is now harder to beat than ever in 2025

The “ta♌ct🤡ic genius” of Marc Marquez has been feted after he took command of the MotoGP championship race.
Marquez is now 93 points - an ominous total - ahead of third-placed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia, his factory Ducati teammate.
Gre🧔sini’s Alex Marquez is his older brother’s closest competition in the title scrap heading into Mugello next weekend.
But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s ability to shake off two errors - at COTA and Jerez - earlier this sea🅘son to control last week’s Aragon MotoGP was a surefire sign that he has an iron g𝓀rip over the championship, it has been claimed.
“He spoke about it all weekend - I think there’s an element of him being rattled by these mistakes,” Lewis Dun🙈can told the Crash MotoGP podcast.
“He said ‘Ducati understand the mistakes’ but he must not be super sure, because his feeling with the bike was 🐼good.
“It was a real mental hurdle ꦦto get over, like Jorge Martin in Indonesia last year. He crashed in the sprint, thought about it, and managed to overcome it.
“It feels like a big hurdle has been surmಞounted here. Aragon is a strong circuit for him but so🐓 was COTA.
“As a fac🐷tory rider he is tight-lipped about what has changed on the bඣike. It’s very hard to tell. It makes things complicated to understand.
“Fundamentall🌊y, they’ve gone back to something which gave him the fe♊eling he had at the start of the season.
“When he’s like that - in Thailand, Argentina, Austin beforeও his crash - he’s two-and-a-half seconds up the road from Pecco.
“If he’s fina🌼lly over the hurdle of making mistakes on Sundays, it’s another element that his rivals cannot use. They can’t pressure him because he won’t crack.
“We are now entering a new phase iꦕn the championship. One where he will probably stretch his legs.
“I don’t think it will look particularly good fo𓆏r anyone who isn’t Marc Marquez!”
'Unpredictable' Marc Marquez a 'tactical genius'

Jordan Moreland added: “He chips away, waits for mistakes for anyone chas꧋ing him, 🐻then it goes up and up and up…
“He figures it out eventually.”
Lewis Duncan continued: “Part of the prob🍸lem is that it’s unprediᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚctable what he’s going to do.
“The riders say on Friday that he is a step ahead so we assume he will lead from the front. B꧅ut we have the sprint, and Alex Marquez is in fr𝄹ont. There’s a chance to do something…
“He pushes, he chews up the tyres,꧋ and Mar🐬c comes through anyway…
“Instead of finishi𒉰ng second,ꦐ [Alex] finishes third.
“That’s the real tactical genius of Marc.💞 He is able to adapt on the fly, to the point where others think a door has opened so they change how they’re♐ riding completely, then get stung even more.
“It’s a hard one to battle with, a💟nd they ﷽know that.
“There isn’t much more that they can do.”
A brief problem with front end feeling of his Du🐭cat🎶i GP25 at Silverstone was shaken off by Marquez at Aragon.
He has adapted better to this year’s Desmosedici than teammate Bagnaia, whose feeling has been lack🔜ing all year despite a slightly resurgence at Aragon.
Marquez is hunting for a ninth world title in tota♉l this year, his fiಞrst with the factory Ducati team.
