MotoGP: A harvest of records awaits Marc Marquez and Ducati in Austin

Marc Marquez has qualified on pole in seven of the 10 MotoGP races he has competed in Austin. He won six of them from 2013 to 2018, crashed out in 2019 while leading, and won again in 2021.

Marc Marquez has also won on 11 of the 14 occasions that he has raced in MotoGP in America: seven times at Austin, three times at Indianapolis and one at Laguna Seca in 2013.

114 If Marc Marquez finishes in the top three, it will be his 114th MotoGP podium, equalling MotoGP Legend Jorge Lorenzo in second on the list of riders with the most podiums.

83 If a Ducati qualifies in the top three, it will be the 83rd consecutive GP that a Ducati rider starts on the front row, a run that stretches back to Valencia 2020.

69 Ducati are on a streak of 68 consecutive podiums. If they claim a podium this weekend, they will extend their own record to 69. The last factory with more than 68 in a row is Honda (83 from the FIM GP 1993 to the Imola GP 1999).

20 A Ducati GP win would be their 20th win in a row, extending their personal record. The last manufacturer with 20 (or more) MotoGP wins in a row is Honda’s 22 in a row from Malaysia 1997 to the 1998 Dutch TT.

19 Rookie Fermin Aldeguer will be 19 years and 359 days old on Sunday and can become the youngest MotoGP winner ahead of Marc Marquez (20 years and 63 days old in Austin, 2013).

8 If he wins, it will be Marc Marquez’ eighth MotoGP win at COTA, equalling his personal record from the Sachsenring.

7 There are seven full-time riders who could take their maiden MotoGP win this weekend: Alex Marquez, Raul Fernandez, Luca Marini, Pedro Acosta and rookies Ai Ogura, Somkiat Chantra and Fermin Aldeguer.

3 If he wins, Marc Marquez could become the first rider to win the opening three races since he did so in 2014…when he won the opening 10.
