Our experts have their say on the rider who made his critics look silly
Some will be content that they silenced their critics, but others will have more questions hanging over them than ever before.Our writers pointed out the genius who silenced his doubters in 2024...Marc Marquez certainly silenced his own doubts, proving he could win again, being a step ahead of everyone else on the GP23, staying injury-free and securing the factory Ducati seat.
But from the off Marquez was impressive upon his switch to Ducati aboard a GP23 that was a clear step behind the factory bike. Three grands prix wins and being one of the only ones to regularly challenge Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia in 2024, Marquez really has swept the misery of his last few years with Honda under the rug.
