Marc Marquez achieve the best results in maintaining MotoGP world title. In the first race the 2014 season, he became a champion after winning a fierce duel with Valentino Rossi.
Starting the race from pole position, Marquez was knocked into fourth place in the beginning of the race. But he was able to continue to improve his position until he can regain its leading position on lap eight.
Since then the world champion in 2013 was involved in a very fierce rivalry with Rossi. At least two riders engaged each other after more than five times, with in some moment the rider drove side by side and almost nudge each other.
This victory is a perfect start for Marquez to retain his world title. Results in Losail feels more special because he actually has not been at 100% after suffering a broken leg six weeks ago.
