Marc Márquez landed in the world championship with just 15 years and one month. A precocious talent that was confirmed in his sixth race. Despite riding a KTM at the time, inferior to the Aprilia/Derbi of the time, the man from Lleida stood on the Donington Park podium behind Redding and Di Meglio, becoming the second youngest in history to finish among the top three. In his three years in 125 he would add a total of 10 wins and 4 podiums, finishing off his time with the title in 2010.
In 2011 he would make the leap to Moto2. Despite a difficult start marked by crashes, in the fourth race he won for the first time. He was about to become champion in his debut, after overcoming Bradl by 83 points, but an untimely injury in the penultimate round prevented him from completing the victory, delaying the title until 2012. 16 wins and nine podiums in his two years in the class intermediate.
The debut in MotoGP could not have been better. In the first race he climbed to the podium, 3rd in Qatar, and in the second he won in Austin. A magical year in which he racked up 16 podiums, his highest in one season so far, to culminate it with the title in his first year.
In total, Márquez had participated in 165 Grand Prix, of which he finished in the top three in 100 (60%).

Throughout those years he broke different records of precocity: youngest winner of a MotoGP Grand Prix, youngest champion, etc., and in the section of reaching 100 podiums he did it again. Valentino Rossi held such an honor, at the age of 25 years and 244 days. Márquez achieved it in Motegi at the age of 24 years and 240 days.
The five-time champion joined a select club of drivers who reached at least 100 podiums, but the one from Cervera did not stop there, since after those campaigns, he continued his absolute dominance in the premier category, with a pristine 2019 in which he added 420 points, something that no rider has been able to do to date, thanks to his 12 victories and 18 podiums in 19 Grand Prix, almost a full.
However, his streak was cut short in an unfortunate 2020, where a fall at the Spanish Grand Prix left him without competing for several months, and it was not until the German Grand Prix a year later that he savored the champagne again with a historic victory. . To this we must add the recurrence of several injuries and his return with a pole position in Motegi and the podium that equals Ángel Nieto as the fifth rider with the most podiums in the history of motorcycling at the 2022 Australian Grand Prix.
