Marc Marquez pays US$200 for every US$100 bet to win this weekend's MotoGP.
Marquez is a Spanish Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who races for the Ducati Lenovo Team in MotoGP. He previously raced for Honda's factory team from 2013 to 2023, and for the Ducati satellite team Gresini in 2024.
"My biggest rival - or what I'm more worried about - is my physical condition," said the Catalan ahead of Sunday's big race. "The rest, I don't care. It's true that they are super fast, but this is my main opponent - to continue growing my level in the next races."
The Sachsenring hosts the German MotoGP from Friday through Sunday, with the sprint on Saturday and the main race Sunday. MotoGP attracts substantial betting activity across Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Southeast Asia, especially on race winner, podium and head-to-head rider markets. Marquez is the favorite to win outright.
Marquez sees Jorge Martin as his biggest competition in the Sunday race.
"In my opinion, for example, Marco Bezzecchi has been the fastest one during the first part of the season. But not the best one, because Jorge Martin is leading the championship.
"So, in the end, you need to approach [things] in a different way when you are fighting against one rider, or when you are fighting against four riders."
Martin promises a few dollars more payout at +203 compared to Marquez' +194. Bezzecchi pays out closer to US$500 for every US$100 bet.
Ai Ogura, meanwhile, would pay out closer to US$450 for every US$100 bet with a win.
Ogura is a Japanese Grand Prix motorcycle racer who competes in the MotoGP World Championship for Trackhouse MotoGP Team. He will leave Trackhouse at the end of the 2026 season to join Yamaha.
Ai hasn't changed after tasting success, and not even after signing with Yamaha.
"For a Japanese person, it's important to race for a Japanese brand," he said ahead of Sunday's race.
Why leave Aprilia—currently one of the best, if not the best, bikes in the field—for such a risky gamble?

“There were many reasons for this choice, and I won’t explain them here,” AI replied. “I saw a good opportunity for myself, which is why I chose it. We’ll find out in the future just how competitive we can be. Besides, for a Japanese rider, it’s important to be on an official team for a Japanese brand, just as it’s important to have a teammate like Martin. It’ll be interesting.”
