Marquez repeats as MotoGP champion
Print Edition
SPANISH sensation Marc Marquez, just 21 years old, retained his MotoGP championship by finishing runner-up at the Japanese Grand Prix yesterday.
“Two years in MotoGP, two titles. It’s incredible,” Marquez told reporters. “I couldn’t have imagined it. Maybe to people it looked easy because I am always smiling and always happy, but also I feel pressure.”
Fellow Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo on a Yamaha won at Motegi as he had last year, finishing in 42 minutes 21.259 seconds to back up his victory at Aragon two weeks ago with Marquez behind him on his Honda and Italy’s Valentino Rossi third for Yamaha. Marquez’s second place meant he can no longer be caught by Rossi or Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa with three races remaining this season.
