Overview
- Fresh off sealing the 2025 championship at Motegi with five races to spare, Márquez arrives in Indonesia on 11 grand prix wins for the season.
- Márquez says avoiding a post-title drop is the priority, vowing “not to do stupid mistakes” after an emotionally draining push to secure the crown.
- He acknowledges his single‑season wins record (13) is possible to beat but won’t add pressure, noting Phillip Island and Valencia as strong venues and Mandalika, Sepang and Portimão as less favorable.
- Mandalika remains one of two current tracks where he has not won, and he says the focus is on finishing and using the remaining rounds to trial setup ideas for 2026.
- With Honda speculation resurfacing, team boss Alberto Puig called talk of a reunion “absurd” for now, and Márquez emphasized his commitment to Ducati, saying his “mind is fully on red.”
