MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez emphasized that consistency is the most critical factor in determining the championship in the 2026 season. The rider of Ducati [link] stated that he is consciously attempting to explore the limits of the track by taking calculated risks before races, and stressed the importance of avoiding errors.
Explaining his strategy for the championship race, which has become one of MotoGP's most thrilling contests, Marc Marquez stated that in the remainder of the season, consistency will be more decisive than speed.
The Rise of Competition and Risk Management
Marquez rose to third place in the championship by winning sprints and main races at the German Grand Prix. In the later stages of the season, the rider believes that avoiding mistakes is more valuable than speed. According to Marquez, in this period of constantly increasing competition, not only Ducati but also Aprilia holds a very strong position.
Marquez, who materialized this rise, expressed that he observed an increase in the performance of other riders:
“This year Aprilia is really fast and constantly raising its level. On the Ducati side, Alex has started to be very fast again. Fabio Di Giannantonio is showing an incredible performance. Pecco was very fast on some tracks. This shows that the level of competition is constantly increasing.”
As a natural result of this situation, he stressed that more risks must be taken, but consistency is more important than anything else. Marquez developed a specific approach to achieve this balance: "Consistency is more important than anything else."
Limit Exploration Strategy
Marc Marquez detailed his unconventional approach applied throughout the season, revealing that he consciously takes risks to explore the limits of the motorcycle on the first days of races. This strategy ensured more consistent results, especially in the second half of the season.
Marquez summarized this method as follows:
“I prefer to make my mistakes on Sunday. I start riding with complete intuition on Saturday. If I fall, I prefer to fall on Sunday. This way I can understand where the limit is and I can survive on Sunday, just like I did at Assen.”
Highlighting that this approach brought reliable results, particularly in the second half of the season, he once again emphasized the importance of consistency.
Psychological Pressure and Physical Challenges
Speaking about the psychological burden of the championship fight, Marquez stated that the first part of the season was physically very stressful. He mentioned that he couldn't understand what was happening, especially in the first five races, and he didn't know the reason for his falls. The biggest challenge of this condition was the anxiety issue.
He stated that this health problem changed the sensation on the motorcycle and determined the limits of his physical condition at certain points. Marquez said this situation allowed him to feel the limits better:
“The first part of the season was incredibly stressful for me. Especially in the first five races, I couldn't understand what was happening. I was constantly falling but I didn't know why. The anxiety issue gave me no warning.”
Marquez, who plans to increase his muscle strength during the break in summer, emphasized the intensity of the psychological pressure during the first half of the season. Against these challenges, he reiterated how critical the consistency strategy is. Having become one of the strongest contenders for the championship thanks to his double victory in Germany, Marquez expressed that he gained great morale for the second half of the season by finishing only 18 points behind the world leader during the summer break.
