This weekend's Qatar G🍌rand Prix is also the start p🤡oint for Marc Marquez's tenth year as a MotoGP rider.

The Spaniard joined the premier-class in 201ཧ3 and has remained a Repsol Honda rider ever since, winning 59 races (41%), 99 podiums (70%) and six world championships, to add to his previous titles in the 125💜 and Moto2 classes.

Sunday in Qatar could see Marquez become only the fourth rider in history to reach꧃ 100 premier-class podiums, while the many records he has already achieved include 10 wins in a row and 13 wins in a season (2014), plus the most points in a single season (420) in 2019.

In the following video, Marquez - who missed almost all of the 2020 sꦅeason, plus start and finish of 2021 due to injury - reflects on his MotoGP career to date including; why he picks Dani Pedrosa as his best team-mate, how 2020 is his biggest regret and taught him "you only have one body", his goals for the next ten years and desire to try a 500cc two-stroke.

"Ten seasons in MotoGP and with Repsol Honda is something I couldn't have imagined in my best dreams…ܫ we will try to win the [2𓄧022] title to celebrate well!" Marquez says.

Now 29, Marquez admits he's unlikely to still be racing in a decade's time, but - as with Valentino Rossi before him - insists that results alone will decide when the time is right to st💫op:

"I always say, when I will not have the level to fight for the top three there's no meaning to race for me🦹."
