Marquez limits damage to Martin at 2025 Indonesian MotoGP

Mandalika has historically been one of Marquez's weakest circuits, so leaving Indonesia without conceding ground in the standings is exactly the kind of result that separates title contenders from champions. Martin, by contrast, needed to capitalise on Aprilia's clear pace advantage and didn't — and that gap between opportunity and outcome is what the article is really about. A title fight isn't just won at your best circuits; it's managed at your worst ones, and Marquez just demonstrated that principle in the most pointed way possible.
