After a long and arduous 1,043-day wait, Marc Marquez finally reclaimed the top step of a Grand Prix podium. The Aragon GP, a circuit that has frequently been a happy hunting ground for the Gresini rider, delivered once again in 2024. Marquez, donning his iconic #93, dominated the weekend, securing pole position, Tissot Sprint victory, and the Grand Prix win in emphatic fashion.
Marquez was the toast of the paddock, while his on track heroics caught the attention of the international media too. Take a look at what the press had to say below!
Starting close to home for the #93, he was splashed across the back pages of Spanish publications L'Esportiu and Ideal, saying that he "thundered" to the Grand Prix double in Alcañiz.
Marquez ending his 1043 was the main headline grabber across other publications in his home country, with Marca and Super Deporte following that line, while AS claimed he has been "resurrected" as he shares the back page with Kylian Mbappe.
In France, L'Equipe also highlighted the magnitude of his wait for victory, while in Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport gave Marquez a perfect rating of 10 from the weekend, while they also had plenty of coverage on Francesco Bagnaia's late collision with the younger Marquez brother, Alex.
In the UK, Marquez' was in the headlines on the BBC website and on The Guardian, with the latter anointing him a "legend" after his flawless Sunday ride.
