An emotional Marc Marquez said he was “at peace” with himself after winning his first MotoGP world title since 2019 on Sunday, capping a remarkable comeback from an injury nightmare.
The Spaniard finished second at the Japan Grand Prix behind fellow Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia to clinch his seventh world title with five events to spare.
It marked a triumphant return from a gruelling struggle with injuries since breaking his right arm in 2020 that almost forced him to hang up his helmet.
The 32-year-old said his title was “written in the stars” but admitted he had doubts he would return to the top. “Of course I feel happy but the first feeling is that I feel at peace with myself,” he said.
“It was Marc against Marc during five years, Marc against injury, but especially about the mental side was difficult. I took super difficult decisions but I closed the circle in the perfect way,” he added.
