The 2025 MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix is still a few hours away, and Marc Marquez is motivated to win his fourth race of this season. Spain is the home country of the six-time world champion, and over the years, he has tasted victory many times.

He recently won the sprint race after pole leader Fabio Quartararo crashed out. But before the Yamaha riders crashed, Marquez was well ahead of them on his Ducati. Winning the main race is more important than the sprint race, so Marquez is looking to replicate the same today.

Marquez is now greeted by modern tennis great Carlos Alcaraz in Jerez. The Spanish tennis player is one of the modern greats, and he is the next big thing after Rafael Nadal in Spain. Carlos was invited to the race, and the Grand Slam winner came to wish Marc Marquez all the best for his race in Spain.

Alcaraz was seen asking questions regarding the bike and its technology. He also sat on the bike and posed with Marc Marquez. Ducati team principal Luigi Dall’Igna was also present during the meeting of the two legends. 

Marc Marquez is now on the verge of becoming a seven-time world champion. Only Bagnaia and his brother Alex Marquez will have a chance this year, as the reigning world champion Jorge Martin is already out for three months due to injury. 

Though the Jerez race is not fully a home race for Marquez, he is a Spaniard by birth. His home race will be the Catalonia Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which will take place in September.

So there is still a long way to go this year, and we believe Marc Marquez will become a seven-time world champion by the end of the 2025 MotoGP season. It is now up to Francesco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez to stop Marc Marquez’s victory run.
