Marquez Takes Top Malaysian GP Rating
Quotidiano Sport awarded Marc Marquez a score of 10 after an uncontested solo victory in the 2026 Malaysian Grand Prix. Published from Rome on 1 November 2026, the report concluded that the world championship is practically secured by the rider, who controlled proceedings effortlessly from the moment the starting gantry switched to green. Competing without rivals and devouring the Sepang event in an instant, Marquez achieved a fluid race free of obstacles that bordered on outright monotony as he closes on the MotoGP title at Sepang.
Acosta Passes Pole-Sitter Alex Marquez
Pedro Acosta received an 8 after finishing directly behind Marquez. The review highlighted that Acosta accomplished this aboard a KTM that is not quite a Desmosedici, earning applause for a ruthless attack to take position from Alex Marquez. Alex Marquez was credited with a 6.5 mark despite starting from pole position. Although he produced a strong launch on the opening lap to challenge his brother and led the battle behind him, he later suffered under Acosta's moves, prompting the assessment that he could have achieved more from the front.
