Marc Marquez: Already a MOTOGP Legend, and He's Only 21.

Question: Who is the youngest MotoGP champion in the 65-year history of the series?

Marc Marquez, at the age of 20, last year, in his ROOKIE SEASON.

Question: How many MotoGP riders have won the first nine races of the Championship series?

Two, and if you guessed that Marquez is one of them, you guessed right.

The first statistic is ridiculous if only because of the man he replaced: KING KENNY ROBERTS. The second makes the kid a LIVING LEGEND at the tender age of 21.

Seriously, he is the Michael Jordan of motorcycle racing, he is the Senna, the Messi, and his career is just getting started.

One year ago, almost to the day, I had the privilege to get a couple of high quality snaps of this young phenom at his debut at Laguna Seca, a race he won by the way. For whatever reason (ROSSI), there were VERY FEW people waiting to see the future king. I was lucky enough to be one of them.

You may not appreciate road motorcycle racing. You may not even like motorcycles. Still, the next race is in America, at the home of racing, Indianapolis. And this kid has an opportunity to tie the record for most consecutive wins in a season. A record set by GIACOMO AGOSTINI nearly 45 years ago.

 

To tie the record he has to beat four former World Champions who have every reason to see that he doesn’t. If anything, expect it to be a lively race.

See history made whether the kid wins or not. He is a once in a lifetime talent in a sport that doesn’t forgive. Check him out. Motogp.com.
