In truth, he couldn\u2019t have done it without Ducati<\/a>, who have been in excellent form this season, winning 22 of the 24 races on offer so far.<\/p>\n He\u2019s going to break many more MotoGP<\/a> records along the way, and rivals can begin to look forward to 2026 as their next best opportunity to inflict some revenge.<\/p>\n Ducati feared losing without signing Marquez<\/a>, but it was still considered a risk to sign him at the time. Nobody quite knew if he could rediscover his form or provide more upside than Jorge Martin.<\/p>\n One of his biggest rivals, Jorge Lorenzo, believes that Marquez has a weakness that undermines his \u2018natural talent\u2019<\/a>. He thinks that he\u2019s always pushing too hard.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Luigi Dall\u2019Igna \u2018burst out laughing\u2019 after being asked one question about Marc Marquez\u2019s Ducati dominance<\/a><\/p>\n Marquez has to \u2018entertain himself\u2019 amid Ducati\u2019s dominance<\/a> and sometimes pushes to the limit to remain focused in races.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the extent of his advantage. No one can get close to him on his day, and part of that is down to a unique braking technique that no other rider can copy.<\/p>\n According to Mat Oxley, some MotoGP engineers have attempted to come up with systems to prevent locking under braking, but Marquez has been the most effective solution.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the engineers I interviewed, who I interviewed quite a while back, because obviously writing this book, I\u2019ve also used a lot of the stuff that I researched over the past 15 years with Marc,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the engineers \u2013 he was working with Yamaha at the time, or Suzuki in fact. And he said, \u2018Ever since motorbike racing has been going on, engineers have been looking for a device to save the front tyre from locking like an anti-lock braking, which you\u2019re not allowed to use in Grand Prix racing. <\/p>\n \u201cHonda now has that device, he\u2019s called Marc Marquez.\u2019 That is his winning skill; no one else can touch him there. Even now, it\u2019s incredible really.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Marc](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2225258901-1024x683.jpg\")
