He was the youngest MotoGP race winner and champion and remains the only rider to take the world title in his rookie year. Now though, at the age of 32, Marc Marquez may have done something even more spectacular, by winning his seventh Moto GP World Championship. It's his ninth world title overall, bringing him level with his old rival Valentino Rossi, and comes at the end of a frustrating five years.
Marquez has returned to the very top of the sport after recovering from a string of crashes and injuries - including a broken arm which needed four operations over two years. He describes that period as a 'nightmare' but says that becoming a world champion again has brought him inner peace.
BBC Motorsport reporter Victoria Turner and former MotoGP racer James Ellison explain why Marquez's comeback is so remarkable. They also discuss where he ranks among the sport's finest including Rossi and Giacomo Agostini.
