Marc Marquez Best Rider in History, Aleix Espargaro: He’s an “Animal” : Okezone Sports

GRANOLLERS – Aprilia Gresini’s racer, Aleix Espargaro, has great admiration for his skills Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda). He also did not hesitate to call Marquez the best rider in history, even among legends MotoGP.

Marquez deserves to be called the best racer if you look at his actions. Since plunging into the world of professional racing in 2008, The Baby Alien-Marquez’s nickname-has been showing off.

Marquez won the 2010 Moto3 title, then moved up to Moto2 the following season. For two years competing in Moto2, Marquez was able to win the title in the 2013 season.

Marquez went up to MotoGP in 2013 by becoming a Honda racer. Marquez also made history by becoming the first racer to win MotoGP in his debut season.

After that, Marquez dominated MotoGP with champions in the 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Overall, the Spaniard has eight world titles.

Aleix knows that legends, such as Giacomo Agostini (15 titles), Angel Nieto (13 titles), and Valentino Rossi (nine titles), are more often the best riders in the championship than Marquez. However, he still called Marquez the best because he won the title with a championship level and a more difficult opponent.

“Marc Marquez is a star. The best driver in history,” said Aleix, quoted from Tuttomotoriweb, Friday (9/7/2021).

“Even though Valentino was my idol since I was a kid. Agostini has won more titles than him (Marquez). Angel Nieto did the same. However, if we stay calm and analyze all these riders well, Marc Marquez will have to beat a much stronger rival, that’s another story.”

“Marc has won eight championships (in 14 years), Valentino has not. So, for me, he is the strongest of all.”

Marquez is trying to find his best performance in MotoGP 2021 after a severe accident last season. However, slowly the 28-year-old racer is starting to become his past self in the last few races.
