Highside/Lowside podcast: Is Marc Márquez the greatest of all time?

Feb 23, 2026

The nine world championships, the 73 premier-class race victories, the impossible saves when crashes seemed inevitable, the fierce desire to win, the comeback from devastating injuries — we all know the accomplishments and attributes that make Marc Márquez one of the "aliens" of motorcycle racing. Could he be the greatest of all time?

That's the topic of the latest episode of the Highside/Lowside motorcycle podcast, and to help delve into the mind of MM93, your hosts Spurgeon and Zack are joined once again by Mat Oxley, the man who literally wrote the book on Marc Márquez. The new biography by Oxley, one of the most experienced and respected writers in the racing business, tells the story of Márquez from his days as a child racing minibikes through his 2025 championship-winning MotoGP season.

Oxley joins the podcast to discuss why Márquez is a "generational talent,” the countless surgeries it took to keep him on the grid, and how Spain has created the most successful racing culture in the world. They also take a look ahead to the 2027 MotoGP rule changes that could reset the entire field — and whether Márquez’s body will let him stick around to see them.
