#3 Marc Marquez
Spaniard Marc Marquez, nicknamed 'The Ant' is undoubtedly the stand out performer in MotoGP over the last 6 years.
Marquez is one of only 3 riders to have won the Championship across all three classes. He made his debut in the 125cc class at the age of 15 in 2008. In 2010, he won the 125cc Championship and moved higher up to the Moto2 class in 2011 and the following year he won the Moto2 Championship in commanding fashion earning a MotoGP Premier Class berth with Team Repsol Honda in 2013.
He carried his winning momentum from Moto2 to MotoGP when he was crowned the youngest ever MotoGP Champion and only the second since Kenny Roberts to win the title in his debut season.
He successfully defended his title in 2014 and was also crowned champion in 2016 and 2017. Marquez won his 5th Riders' Championship crown in 2018. Still only 26, Marquez may well set many new benchmarks and one day emerge as the greatest of all-time.
#3 (t) Mick Doohan
Mick Doohan made his MotoGP debut in the year 1989 riding for Team Honda. In a career spanning a little over a decade, the Australian started 137 races and took the chequered flag 54 times.
Doohan won 5 consecutive MotoGP Riders Championships between 1994 and 1998. In the year 1997, he etched his name in the record books for 4 unique and remarkable feats which haven't been broken by anyone till date - 12 wins, 12 pole position starts, 12 successive pole position starts and most points accrued in a single season - 340.
Following his career-ending crash in Jerez in 1999, Doohan had to endure a slow and frustrating rehabilitation period.
