Motorcycle racing legend Kevin Schwantz says he recognises some of himself in Ducati star Marc Marquez after the latter's incredible title-winning run in the 2025 MotoGP season.
Parallels have been drawn between the two riders, both of whom forged reputations for outperforming their machinery. Just as Schwantz made his name on a 500cc Suzuki that wasn’t necessarily the class of the field, Marquez spent long periods of his career as the only rider who could tame Honda’s MotoGP challenger. Each rider also battled with injuries during their careers.
