In a nine-year stretch between 20, Rossi won seven titles, three with Honda and then four with Yamaha. When Rossi was winning titles, he was doing so emphatically. Rossi is also the cautionary tale for Marquez, of how injury and an unworthy machine can catch out even the best of riders in their best years. Part of Marquez’s appeal is that even as he tests the boundaries on track, he also lets fans into his race craft.
Rossi has been a cult figure in motorcycle racing, fostering a sub-culture that was irreverent, one that raced hard on the track but did not take itself seriously off it. While Rossi has won on 23 circuits in 19 seasons, Marquez has already won on 20 circuits in just seven seasons.Įqually, there’s a panache with which Marquez has gone about business, even though he was following in very large footsteps. While Rossi has 55 pole positions, Marquez has already annexed the all-time record, starting from the first position 61 times so far.
