Marc Marquez is gearing up for the Indonesian MotoGP this weekend as he aims to steer clear of another terrifying crash that sent him tumbling in 2022.

The 32-year-old has been on fire in the 2025 season, securing his seventh World Championship title last weekend with five races to spare. Marquez sealed the deal at the Japan Grand Prix after finishing second behind teammate Francesco Bagnaia, rendering him untouchable in the championship standings.

His brother Alex was the closest challenger, but his rival and sibling showed nothing but support as Marquez was overcome with emotion.

The rider struggled to find words in the post-race interview, sobbing as he crossed the finish line. Marquez said: "It's impossible to even speak, I just want to enjoy the moment, but it's true that it was difficult, it was super difficult, but now I'm at peace with myself."

However, Marquez's path to his seventh World Championship was far from smooth sailing. After a remarkable four consecutive titles from 2016 to 2019, his fortunes took a drastic turn.

A broken arm in 2020 required multiple surgeries, marking the beginning of a streak of bad luck for the Spaniard. One harrowing incident was his jaw-dropping crash at the 2022 Indonesian MotoGP.

During warm-ups, Marquez lost control while navigating a corner, sending him and his bike flying through the air in a heart-stopping moment.

Marquez took a brutal tumble, smacking his head on the track as his bike spiralled out of control behind him. In footage shared by ABC News, the motorcyclist is seen crashing onto the tarmac with a thud, narrowly dodging his own bike as it landed nearby.

Incredibly, Marquez emerged from the horrific crash relatively unscathed, suffering only a concussion. Following the incident, he reassured fans of his physical well-being but admitted he couldn't compete due to his concussion.

Taking to Instagram, the Ducati Lenovo rider said: "I'm OK after the big crash I had this morning. For precaution, and to not take any more risks, we decided to not race at the #IndonesianGP. I want to thank all the MotoGP medical team and the Mataram Hospital for the treatment received. Thank you for all your support messages."

Despite recovering, Marquez retired from the same race in the following two years. Now, the 2025 World Champion is set to return and settle scores with the circuit that gave him one of the most dramatic crashes of his career.
