Without mercy, Marquez is still a rookie status with Repsol Honda, able to snatch the world title that makes it equal the record of Kenny Roberts as the youngest rider to win the first season.
In its inaugural season, his performance is surprisingly shocking to the world of MotoGP racing for being able to conquer the other big names like Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, and Dani Pedrosa. However, the sweet story of the rookie did not stop just a season.
After becoming champion in the 2013 season, Marquez successfully defended his title in the 2014 season and became the youngest rider who can win two world titles in premier class in a row. However, Marquez's path is not always smooth. In the 2015 season, he failed to win the championship, although later he paid the failure by snatching two more titles in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
With a series of slick records for the last five seasons, Marquez again became one of the most favorite names to win the title in the 2018 season to come. However, at the pre-season training session at Sepang Circuit, Malaysia, 28-30 January, Marquez appear not too slick.

However, Marquez did not let the test results in Sepang make his focus disturbed for further tests that will be held from 16 to 18 February. For the 24-year-old rider, tested the new circuit just makes it more challenged.

"The track layout looks good here, it seems like I'll be fine here, but it's some complicated part, I'm curious how long it takes to be the best here (Buriram red)."
