Marc Marquez, a Spanish Grand Prix motorcycle road racer, is one of the most successful racers in the world. He has seven world championships to his name out of which five are in the premier class.

He got his nickname 'ant of Cervera' because he is known for his wild riding style. He is only one of four riders to have world championships in three different categories.

He is one of the greatest innovators the world has ever seen, as his excessive cornering technique of leaning over the bike makes him look like he will fall out. He is only the third Spaniard after Alex Criville and Jorge Lorenzo to win a premier class title.

He is also the first rider after Kenny Roberts to win a premier class title in his first season. In 2014, he won 10 races in a row which is a remarkable achievement as he retained the title with three races to spare.

He is third in the all-time list of winning the most number of MotoGP championships. He is considered to be a worthy opponent to Valentino Rossi who is currently the best racer in the world.
