The strongest riders of all time: Giacomo Agostini or Valentino Rossi? Márquez fourth

4) Marc Márquez, fourth with 85 race wins

The Spaniard is the only rider featured in this top five who is still able to move up and close in on Agostini and Rossi over the coming years. Although he was unable to win a race this year, the eight-time champion has a current tally of 85 race wins, at just 30 years of age. Lying fourth, and with time on his side, the Spaniard could well overtake Nieto (already next season) and move ever closer to Valentino Rossi, stationary on 115.
