Why it matters for Marc Márquez
Márquez's milestone moment caps off another impressive performance in Germany. The reigning MotoGP World Champion has now achieved 10 wins at the Sachsenring circuit, joining MotoGP Hall of Famer Giacomo Agostini as the only riders to achieve this feat. This achievement further solidifies Márquez's position among the greats in the MotoGP world.
What comes next?
With 10 Sachsenring victories now to his name, Márquez will look to continue his winning streak at the upcoming Silverstone event after the summer break. Márquez's thoughts on his achievement were shared after the German GP, where he expressed his happiness at matching Agostini's record. He also praised his teammate Alex for his hard work and impressive performance.
Márquez's first premier-class Sachsenring victory arrived in 2013, marking just his second win of his rookie campaign. Three years later, Márquez produced a standout performance, winning by 9.857s following a dramatic flag-to-flag showing. In 2021, the #93 took an emotional victory, fighting with injury and earning his first of three wins that season. Márquez would have to wait until 2025 for his next win at the Sachsenring before going back-to-back this year.
Speaking after the German GP, Márquez discussed his thoughts and feelings after a special ride: "10 victories at one circuit in MotoGP is something amazing, I'm super happy. Honestly speaking, I'm not 100% happy as I would have liked to see Alex also here on the podium, as I saw the way he worked after the Montmela race, it was amazing. I didn't expect it from him, I knew he was a worker, but it was more than I expected, and he was riding in a very good way.
"In our garage, we worked very well and found the way to get the maximum from this weekend." With 10 Sachsenring victories now to his name and continuing to climb up the all-time winners' list, Márquez has added yet another milestone to his collection.
