Marc Marquez capped off his successful 2025 MotoGP season by securing his record-extending eighth BMW M Award.
The prestigious honour, awarded to the rider with the most qualifying points across the season, was the seven-time world champion’s first since 2019.
Despite missing the final four races through injury, Marquez still topped the standings with 351 points, powered by eight pole positions and five additional front-row starts, earning him a brand-new BMW M2 CS.

“It took a few years, but I’m really happy to see my name back on the list of BMW M Award winners,” said the Spaniard.
“This season has been a dream for me, even though I obviously didn’t imagine it ending with a shoulder injury that made me miss the final races.
“For us, it’s always something special when our performances on the track are recognised in this way.”
Marquez also spared a thought for his brother Alex, who finished eight points behind him in the final standings.
“My brother didn’t manage the result he needed in the penultimate qualifying in Portimao to keep the contest open, but I promised him he’ll get to drive the car too!”
