Australian motorcycle racing legend Mick Doohan has trouble splitting them. “It’s great for the sport to have someone like Rossi at one end of his career and Marquez who is still fairly early or right bang in the middle of it,” Doohan said.
“They’ve both got different styles and tactics. They are equally fast. Rossi is a little bit calmer these days, perhaps, but he’s never been a crasher. “Marquez has been, for the want of a better word, loose on a bike and more aggressive than Rossi might have been. But they work equally effectively. “Speed and talent they are equal, but Rossi edges it on longevity and being able to maintain the momentum at the top.’’.

Rossi v Marquez MotoGP greats at age 25 Valentino Rossi 140 races, 84 wins, 45 poles, 3106 points, 7 world titles 1x 125cc, 1x 250cc, 1x 500cc, 4x MotoGP Marc Marquez 182 races, 68 wins, 78 poles, 2851 points, 6 world titles 1x 125cc, 1x Moto2, 4x MotoGP Marquez’s zeal led to a “bin it or win it” bravura that resulted in several retirements in 2015 when a calmer approach could have secured another crown. The Honda factory team rider has dominated MotoGP since his arrival in 2013, graduating as the wonder kid who had ruled Moto2 in 2012 and Moto3 two years before that. He started the year after Australian great Casey Stoner’s retirement, thus denying fans a mouth-watering clash of two natural-born racers.
Marquez won the premier class crown in that rookie year at age 20 — the youngest in the MotoGP era — even despite a controversial black flag at Phillip Island. Concerns over the impact on tyres from the newly laid asphalt meant the race featured mandatory stops, but the Spaniard failed to change bikes in the pit window. Next year, in 2014, he won 10 races in a row, a feat not achieved since Doohan in 1997. Rossi, the Italian great, is still riding fast at age 39, and is placed third in this year’s competition. He ain’t just making up the numbers.

Hindi input tool for windows 10. Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez go head-to-head at the Australian GP. Picture: Jake Nowakowski Source:News Corp Australia By 25, Rossi too ruled the world. A total of 84 wins from 140 starts is clear evidence. Such was Rossi’s dominance in the early 2000s that, as the sport morphed from 500cc to the MotoGP classification, he won 51 of 81 races in a golden five-year period to 2005.
Marquez has started more races, mostly because the calendar is now 19 rounds long, compared to 15 when Rossi launched his career. Former 500cc race winner and now pitlane commentator Simon Crafar said comparing riders from different times was tricky but good riders could win on anything. “There is no doubt in my mind that if you take any of the standout champions of any time period and move them back or forward in time they’d figure out how to win, it’s what they do,’’ Crafar said.
