Indianapolis, Indiana – World Champion Marc Marquez (Honda) won his 10th consecutive MotoGP race on Sunday at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, with Yamaha team-mates Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi joining him on the podium.
A hard-fought win saw Marquez become the first rider since Mick Doohan in 1997 to win 10 premier-class races in a row. It was also the 100th win for a Spanish rider in the premier class and the 500th win for Spain across all categories.
It is predicted that the 21-year-old Spanish rider can win all 18 Moto GP races this season. The Repsol Honda Team rider powered to his 10th straight win, equaling the modern era mark set by Mick Doohan in 1997.
Five-time world champion Doohan told the Australian Associated Press on Monday that Marquez is making his rivals “look like amateurs” and “there is no doubt there’s every chance he’s going to win all 18,” GP races this year.
The series continues in Brno, Czech Republic, next weekend. (IolMotoring)
