Even after Alex , the younger of the Marquez brothers , had won the 2014 Moto3™ title brilliantly , courtesy of three wins and seven further podiums , he still lingered in the shadow of older brother Marc . The Spaniard faced a tough start to life in Moto2 in 2015 and 2016 with crashes coming all too regularly . But he scored three wins in 2017 . Despite a tough 2018 , 2019 – his fifth season with Marc VDS – was a year when Alex really came into his own . A mid-season six-race spell yielded five wins and ultimately enough momentum to carry him to the championship , making him the first rider in history to win titles in Moto2™ and Moto3™ . Jorge Lorenzo ’ s retirement opened the door to a surprise MotoGP™ seat in Repsol Honda for 2020 . It was a baptism of fire , but Alex maintained focus despite issues with Honda ’ s RC213V to score amazing podiums in France and Aragon . But a switch to the LCR Honda squad has been tough as Alex has struggled aboard uncompetitive machinery . Aside from a promising eighth in Portugal and a good sixth place at Le Mans , there has been little to cheer about for the former double World Champion .
