Marc Marquez earned a remarkable landmark at the Argentina MotoGP.
Marquez equalled the 90 career wins by Spain’s most successful grand prix rider, the late Angel Nieto.
Nieto and Marquez are now join-third on the all-time grand prix winners’ list, behind Italians Giacomo Agostini (122) and Valentino Rossi (115).
Marquez has held fourth place on the list since moving ahead of Mike Hailwood’s 76 victories in 2019, the year Marquez won his eighth and most recent world crown.
Marquez hadn't taken victory in the opening two rounds of the MotoGP season since 2014, when he went on to win ten in a row, before winning in Argentina on Sunday.
The #93 also tied the all-time GP rostrum tally of 152 by Jorge Lorenzo.
Compatriot Dani Pedrosa, behind Rossi (235) and Agostini (159) on the all-time podium list, is just one further podium away.
Meanwhile, Marquez's win in Argentina was the Ducati factory's 19th Grand Prix victory in a row, edging them closer to Honda’s 22 in a row record from Malaysia 1997 to the Dutch TT in 1998.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
